Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with technologically important polymers used in the paint industry. The student will gain knowledge about binders based on natural and synthetic polymers. Emphasis will be placed on the description of the chemical processes that occur during the synthesis of these binders and during their hardening.
After completing the course, the student reaches basic orientation in chemistry and properties of polymer binder systems.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of organic and macromolecular chemistry.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination

There is an oral examination. The primary form of the exam is the debate about selected themes.
