1. Introduction, historical facts. Definitions of basic terms, polymers, the environment, (bio) active polymers, selected characteristics of polymers and their relationship to bioaktivitě.
2. The basic synthetic polymers - production, properties, applications: Thermoplastics: fluoropolymers and polyolefins, vinyl polymers, styrene and acrylic polymers, polyesters and polyethers, polyamides and polyurethanes. Thermosetting, synthetic rubbers: rubbers for general use, oil resistant rubbers, heat-resistant rubbers.
3. Additives for polymers. Processing additives; antidegradants, networking resources. Ingredients affecting other physical properties. Special filler.
4. Polymer blends - preparation and basic operations: plastification polymers, polymer blends blending, granulation, polymer blends, polymer blends tabulating, agglomeration of polymer blends, gel polymer blends, vulcanization of rubber mixtures.
5. Forming polymer processing, orientation, processing of polymers in porous materials, polymers for processing fiber: spinning solution, melt spinning, spinning in a plastic state; treatment of fibers.
6. Processing of polymers in the liquid state; Degradation vs. stability of polymers (abiotic and biotic factors affecting the stability of the polymer-degradation) Biodegradable polymers, Polymers from renewable resources.
7. Methods of assessment of bioactivity of polymers (biodegradability, the standard application indicators).
8. Bioactive polymeric systems for specific applications; Biokompozits.
