The goal of this course is to master theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of polymer testing.

By mastering this subject, student acquires following knowledge, skills and capabilities: - to independently choose measuring techniques for specific tests, to process results and to relate polymers properties to their structure

Theoretical foundations and principles of polymer structure investigation methods: infrared sprectroscopy (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), molecular weight and molecular weight distribution by polymer gel chromatography, light scattering, viscosity measurement of dilute solutions, the method of MALDI-TOF-MS. Theoretical foundations and principles of methods for testing polymer structure, determination of degree of crystallinity differential scanning calorimetry, DSC, infrared spectroscopy IR, microscopy, optical microscop, electron microscop, transmission electron microscope, scanning electron microscope. Theoretical foundations and principles of the method for thermal, mechanical and dynamic-mechanical testing of polymers, relaxation stress, creep.

Lectures, independent study and research work, consultations. Lectures are held in combined way. Theoretical part is presented in lectures and it is followed by appropriate exampled contributing easier understanding of the subject content. Students expand knowledge through study and research work, studying of scientific journals and other literature. In cooperation with professor, student is enabled ot independently write scientific papers.
