| Summary |
|---|
| The subject of macromolecular chemistry deepens the theoretical and practical knowledge following the skills gained in the course of organic and macromolecular chemistry. Students will get a deeper insight into the macromolecular substances, both synthetic and natural, their properties, preparation and characterization, as well as their applications in modern materials science, medicine, pharmacology and electronics. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
| The aim of the course is to deepen students' knowledge in the field of macromolecular substances, synthetic polymers and biopolymers forming the basis of modern materials with multifunctional properties, with emphasis on the methods of polymer preparation, their properties and methods of characterization. |
