Awareness of polymer materials: chemical and molecular structure, types, applications.

Not applicable.

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

The course credit is awarded after fulfillment of the following conditions:
- the attendance in all theoretical and laboratory practics,
- producing and handover of all laboratory reports in time and in demanded quality,
- passing thematic tests
- passing the credit test – minimum score is 50%

Introduction
Theory: Morphology of polymers, optical microskopy (OM); test from morphology and OM
Practice: Isothermal crystallization of thermoplastics using OM and evaluation of sperulites morphology
Theory: Methods for uncovering supramolecular structure of thermoplastics; Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM); test from methods used for uncovering of supramolecular structure and CLSM
Practice: Chemical etching of thermoplastics and observation of the etched surfaces on CLSM
Theory: Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC); test from DSC
Practice: DSC of polymers
Theory: Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR); test from FZIR
Practice: FTIR analysis of polymers and fillers

The aim is to understand that final properties of polymer materials and done by supramolecular structure, which can be observed both directly and indirectly and which can be changed very easily by heating and melt cooling conditions in case of thermoplastics.

It is demanded the attendance in all practices. In case of the absence, the practice can be compensated with another group or in the last week of the term. An unexcused absence is the reason for the loss of the credit.
Theoretical knowledge of students regarding the particular theme is examined by written tests.
Laboratory reports are handover according the instructions of lecturer.
