The goal | Students acquire knowledge on different properties of polymers both in solution and in solid state and on experimental techniques for their determination. Effect of different parameters on the polymer properties is also discussed. | |||
The outcome | After the students fulfilled all the requirements and passed the exam, they are capable of choosing a proper experimental technique for required measurements, to process the obtained data and to relate properties of the investigated polymer to its structure. | |||
