Learning activities and teaching methods
Laboratory work
Learning outcomes
The subject extends the scope of knowledge of macromolecular chemistry and polymer technology. Students practically learn in the instruments and procedures for evaluting the properties of polymers and composite materials. The subject includes laboratory sample preparation, measurement methods and apparatus for determining the basic properties of polymers and composite materials.
Student is able to participate in works with the instruments and to evaluate the measured properties of polymers and composite materials.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of organic and macromolecular chemistry. Basic skill in chemical laboratory.

Assessment methods and criteria
Home assignment evaluation

For each experiment must be made report, which is classified.
