    The goalIntroducing students to contemporary approaches in polymer science to define polymer systems, especially the behavior of polymer molecules in the formation of structure, design and use of polymeric materials and products. ; Setting broad theoretical basis for further research work in the field of polymers, in particular conception of the separation of spatial organization and dynamic aspects of the polymer structure , researching and developing new systems and predicting the behavior, and optimizing the design of polymeric materials and products. ; Introducing students to the principles and capabilities of new techniques for research and engineering evaluation of the quality and features of polymer systems in development
    The outcomeCreating a sufficiently broad theoretical basis for the further development of the research in polymer engineering. A critical assessment of areas that are still under-researched that provide new opportunities for creative contributions
