Course content
The doctoral course expands and deepens knowledge in the field of thermal analysis and calorimetry. Emphasis is paid on both the theoretical basis of individual thermomechanical methods and practical examples and procedures. It is also focused on the specificity of individual methods. It is dealing with the combination of thermoanalytical methods and some of the other analytical methods. Methods of thermal analysis, such as differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry, dynamic thermomechanical analysis, viscosity measurements, etc., are combined with other analytical methods, such as mechanical and optical properties measurements, Raman and infrared microscopy, and atomic force microscopy, SEM and EDX.

Learning activities and teaching methods
unspecified, Work with text (with textbook, with book)
  • Writing a seminar paper - 0 hours per semester
  • Contact teaching - 0 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The aim of the doctoral course is a more detailed understanding of the principles of thermoanalytical methods and more detailed description of the properties of studied materials as well. Part of the course are also the discussions of individual problems occuring in individual dissertations
Orientation in thermal methods, including understanding of the thermal properties of solids.
Prerequisites
Completed master's degree. The subject broadens and deepens knowledge in the field of the use of thermal analysis methods.
