| 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. |
