| Summary |
|---|
| The issue of interaction of polymeric materials with the environment, emphasis is placed on biodegradable polymers. Students will acquire the necessary knowledge about the composition, properties, processing and utilization of basic synthetic polymers and mixtures, including the possibility of environmental contamination by polymer and biopolymers waste. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
Skills rendered after completion of the course: After the course the student is able to find links between the theoretical and practical aspects in the field of macromolecular and physical chemistry and ecology. Knowledge rendered after the end of the course: The student is familiar with the problems of interaction of polymeric materials with the environment. The main emphasis is put on the so-called biodegradable polymers. Existing knowledge and application possibilities of the latest developments in these materials.
