Guest access
Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

  • Is able to explain basics of initiation and catalysis.
  • Is able to explain the formation of polymer structures, their characterisation and ways to affect them.
  • Can apply theories of step and chain polymerizations.
