Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course / lectures is to acquaint students with synthetic procedures of polymer materials preparation, both commodity and engineering as well as high-tech polymers (conductive polymers, biodegradable and biomedical polymers). At the same time, the course focuses on the description of the structure of polymers from the molecular to supramolecular level. The acquired knowledge of the influence of structure on the resulting properties of polymeric material gives students the opportunity to comprehensively look at practical problems in the field of (nano) material chemistry.
