    The goalAcquiring knowledge on the relationship between polymer structure and morphology and their physical and mechanical properties.
    The outcomeAfter the students fulfilled all the requirements and passed the exam, they : (i) acquired knowledge on polymer properties in solution and solid state; (ii) acquired a capability of predicting the influence of macromolecular structure and morphology on polymer properties.
