The course uses teaching methods in form of Lecture - 2 teaching hours per week. The e-learning system (LMS Moodle) is available to teachers and students.

Oral exam
- two quetions according themes of lectures
- advisement in way of possible processing of real plastic part
- determination of production faults on some products and proposal of trouble shutting

1. Basic therms and splitting of plastics - deformational behiour, terminology of polymers, thermomechanical curve, behaviour of plastic melts, additives its influence on processing. Rheology of plastic melts - basic mechanic of flux, rheology by processing, shear viscosity - temperature and pressure dependency, affect of MW and additives on viscosity, rheometry of polymers - extrude, planparalel and rotational plastometres, normal a shear stress by flux, normal viscosity and its phenomens. Weissenberg efect.
2. Haldling and prepare processing of polymer materials - basics of drying, milling, dissolving a dispergation, transport and storing of raw materials, colouring, preparing of blends - mixing and kneating, machines, mechanism of mixture formation, tabletation and pelletising, lines of preprocessing, grinding and processing of plasic scraps.
3. Injection moulding - machines, plastification and injection unit, clamping unit, engine and control.
4. Injection moulds - design of multiply, influx systems, disaerating, basic principe of removing, temperation of moulds, principes of design of products. Moulds - main parts, terminology by hole numbers, by construction, by overflux, removing of products out of moulds, heating, technology of moulding.
5. Technology of injection - cycle, relations in mould, influence of technological parameters. Processing of filled thermoplastics, structural foams, thermosetics, morecomponent injection, sandwiches, possible trouble.
6. Extrusion - function of screw, entering zone - friction output, middle and exit zone, time of residence, kneating output, types of screws, dies, dynamic od process, technology with extrusion Blow moulding - extrusion and injection way, blow with orientation.
7. Molding and fluxmolding - presses, ways of power affects, presses for laminates, floor presses for sheets, rotational presses.
8. Calendering - solid and viscous material between rolls, rates and pressure profile, dissapative output, temperature field, kneating on double calender, types of calenders a its use (construction of calenders), calender lines.
9. Cyclic processing ways. Thermoforming - ability of semifinished products, machines, technology, comparing to injection moulding.
10. Rotational moulding - materials, cycles, relations in mould.
11. Foaming - factors and processes - surface stress, dissolving, nucleation. Processing of fluid systems - dispersions - casting and coating. Reatiction moulding - low- and high pressure way, structural foams. Processing of fiber laminates - discontinual and continual. Spinning - principes, modification of fibres.
12. Fastening - mechanical joint, bonding and adhesives, prepating of surfaces, coating, formation on bond, types of adhesives, sheet backing. Welding - contact, by additional material, by high frequency, by ultrasound, frictionaly, by radiation. Surface finishing - painting and printing, patterning, glossing and metallising, preservation by powder plastics, velvet finishing.

The subject of the lecture-course is given to apprise the students with several types of polymer processing in the relation to basic material properties. The target of course is a realtion between
processing – structure of polymer for particular types of proceeding a ability to define material requirement for given technology on engineer principle.

Attendancy in lecture is recomended.
