1. Introduction to macromolecular chemistry (history, meaning, raw material base).
2. Structure and basic properties of polymers (molecular weight; polydispersity; mechanical properties; phase behavior; morphology; dissolution; swelling and rheological behavior of polymer solutions; electrical and optical properties).
3. Synthesis of polymers (polymerization, polyaddition and polycondensation).
4. Basic methods of polymer production (monomer phase polymerization; solution, suspension and emulsion polymerization).
5. Modification of polymers (chemical, mechanochemical and mechanical modification).
6. Basic natural polymers (natural rubber, polysaccharides and proteins).
7. Synthetic polymers - thermoplastics (polyolefins, fluoroplastics, styrene and acrylic polymers).
8. Thermoplastics (polyesters, polyethers, polyamides and polyurethanes).
9. Thermosets (phenoplasts, aminoplasts, resins - epoxy, polyester and silicone).
10. Synthetic rubbers (for general use, heat-resistant and oil-resistant).
11. Additives to polymers (fillers, plasticizers, plasticizers, stabilizers, blowing agents, crosslinkers, flame retardants).
12. Basics of polymer processing (injection, extrusion, blow molding, pressing and shaping).
13. Resistance, corrosion and degradation of polymers (resistance to the natural environment, mechanical resistance, resistance to chemical influences).
14. Composite materials with polymer matrix.
