Learning outcomes
|
The student is introduced to the basic processes used in the industrial production of important plastics, elastomers, synthetic resins and fibre-forming polymers, including their basic properties and main applications.
The graduate will gain knowledge of the basics of polymer production technology and synthetic resin production. The graduate knows the basic technological procedures of production of important plastics, elastomers, synthetic resins and fibre-forming polymers and typical properties and methods of application of individual polymers. The knowledge acquired is important for the related course focusing on the processing of polymers and composites.
