Institute of Technology of Building Materials and Components (THD)

♦ In this course the students are introduced to the basic terms from the field of polymer materials, division of polymer materials, characterisation of types of polymers, description a evaluation of properties, and influence of properties of polymers on its use specifically in the building industry. Students are acknowledged with modern trends in the development of new types of polymers, for example macro and micro composites. Successful attendee of the course will be able to:
♦
♦ o Describe in the general terms of physical chemistry and chemical background of polymer materials,
♦ o To understand in detail polymerization mechanisms, technology of polymerization in use and technology of production of polymer products,
♦ o Describe individual principles and possibilities for characterization of polymer materials
♦ o Analyse limits of polymer materials and possibilities of protection of other building materials via utilization of polymers and polymer coating. Use of polymers in the construction industry including additives other building material

♦ Course Polymer Materials is not related directly to previous courses, but the student who sign up the course should be able to explain the elementary concepts of chemistry, materials testing and basic principles of composites.

♦ Students of polymer materials use beyond the basic knowledge and skills acquired in the subjects of chemistry, building physics, the measurement of composite materials and laboratory methods.

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.
The content of the lectures is prepared in the digital form of presentations with the largest share of graphic details that will allow to closer understanding the objective issue. The content of exercise lectures is based on the digital presentation of task, which is then clearly undertaken by experiment and then student must compile and evaluate the results in the reports

♦ Attendance at seminars is compulsory. During the exercise students work out protocols, protocols will be made by the working groups. To pass the final test is required min. 65% success rate. The course ends with an examination which is composed of compulsory written and oral part. To proceed to the oral is necessary to obtain at least 15 points (max 25) to pass the exam then at least another 10 in the oral part.

♦ 1.Outline of plastics produced in our country and in abroad, classification.
♦ 2.Production of plastics. New plastics with maximum service life.
♦ 3.Properties of plastics.
♦ 4.Cellulose, polyethylene.
♦ 5.Polypropylene, PIB and polytetrafluorethylene- Teflon.
♦ 6.PVC, production, properties, utilization. PC and C.
♦ 7.Polyamides, polystyrene.
♦ 8.Epoxy resins.
♦ 9.Polyesters.
♦ 10.Polyurethans.
♦ 11.Acrylated polymeres – polyacrylates.
♦ 12.Other used polymers (furan resins, phenoplasts, aminoplasts etc.)
♦ 13.Silicones. Possibilities of plastics utilization (into cement mortars and concrete, paints, glues etc.), liquidation of polymers.

♦ Internship opportunities as well and collaboration with renowned foreign institutions renowned in the field, such as Vienna University of Technology, National university of Kyiv etc

The aim of teaching is to present a complex survey of plastics produced in our country and abroad. Accent is laid on new plastics with maximal time of life. The subject informs about the possibility of plastics added into cement mortars and concrete – main accent is laid on rehabilitation of concrete structures.

Extent and forms are specified by guarantor’s regulation updated for every academic year.

♦ Recommended optional component will be attandance at selected lectures at conferences co-organized by University of Technology, Faculty of Civil Engineering. A particularly, these are Symposium of concrete structures and conferences organized by the Scientific and confereceTechnical Association for the rehabilitation of buildings and the preservation of monuments.
