Annotation -
The course extends and deepens the basic knowledge on the structure and types of polymers and composite
systems containing polymers, preparation, properties and recycling these materials, methods of their investigation
and on their practical applications. Interdisciplinary overlaps of polymer chemistry, especially to the fields of
material sciences and biomedicine are an integral part of the course.

Requirements to the exam - Czech

Zkouška je ústní. Silně akcentováno je skutečné porozumění probrané látce, nikoliv "naučení se" něčeho nazpaměť. Požadováno je též používání správné terminologie a schopnost aplikovat obecné vztahy na řešení příkladů s konkrétními látkami.
