The goal | Introducing students to meaning and definition of biodegradability of synthetic and natural polymeric materials. Gaining knowledge about methods of investigation of biodegradability. Presentation of types of synthetic biodegradable materials, their importance and application. | |||
The outcome | After completion of the course students posses a knowledge about the relationship between structure of polymeric materials and their biodegradability. Students have a knowledge about the application of polymeric material in terms of its biodegradable properties. Students are able to create a biodegradable polymeric material with structure which will provide specific, targeted application | |||
