The goal | Students are trained to independently assess the complexity and correlations of parameters affecting the degradation of polymer materials and to recognize the conditions under which degradation may occur and reccomend ways of avoiding degradation. Students adopt knowledge that wil enable them to analyze and resolve complex problems related to determining polymer material life-cycles. | |||
The outcome | Students are enabled to independently conduct investigations on the basis of which they can follow degradative changes in polymer materials. Students are trained to work in a team and to adequately present the results of their investigations. | |||
Contents | ||||
Contents of lectures | The course covers all aspects of the degradation of polymer materials (thermal, mechanical, chemical, photolysis, radiolysis and biological), mechanisms and kinetics, as well as means of stabilizing the material. Examples of commonly used polymer materials (polyolefins, poly(vinyl chloride), polystyrene, poly(methyl methacrylate), polyamides, poly(ethylene terephthalate) and others) are discussed, as are the influence of additives on polymer degradation and possibilities of designing polymer materials with desired stability. | |||
