| Learning activities and teaching methods |
| Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming) |
| Learning outcomes |
|
Acquire knowledge that can help solve technological problems connected with treatment of printing inks and varnishes, printed materials (especially of polymeric foils) and also materials for edification of prints (film laminating, hot stamping etc.)
Students acquire information about physical properties of polymer materials and composites, about possibilities of modification of rheological, mechanical and electrical properties. This subject is part of the final bachelor examination. |
| Prerequisites |
|
Knowledge of courses of Bachelor study program (Introduction to Organic Chemistry, Physics, Macromolecular Chemistry).
|
| Assessment methods and criteria |
|
Oral examination, Written examination
The examination is oral. Basic form is discussion about selected fields (70 %). Final assessment also includes two control tests that are written during semester (30 %). |
