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

After the course the student

  • understands how the most common polymeirzation mechanisms affect polymerization reactions.
  • knows the production technologies of the most common polymers and understands the special features of reactor types.
  • knows how the safety and stability of polymer reactors can be affected and is able to use stability analysis in research and development of polymer processes.
  • understands how viscosity affects polymerization processes and can design mixing and heat transfer of polymerization reactors.
  • can scale up/down mixing of polymerizations.
  • understands the use of reactor calorimeter in polymerzations reactors.
