Students shall be able to: 1. Understand differences between commodity and specialty chemicals and different manufacturing, design and R&D of these chemicals. 2. Identify the desired innovations, perform economic comparison of available variants, select the best option. 3. Design or select energetically non-demanding solutions or solutions involving renewable energy sources. 4. Understand the relationships between material micro-structure and their properties. |

1. Concepts of product and process engineering - differences in manufacturing, R&D and innovations for commodity and specialty chemicals. 2. Identification of innovation needs in various market segments. Objective characterization of taste, flavor and viscosity. Case studies - chocolate, cream lotion. 3. Selection of the best innovation among several options. Case studies - bateries, exhaust gas muffler, separation of nitrogen from natural gas. 4. Economical comparison of available options: water desalination, milk processing. 5. Selection of best solution based on thermodynamics and/or kinetics: coffee cup, purification of antibiotics, improvement of cream lotion. 6. Solutions available for the local accumulation of energy and heat. Ventilation of buildings, control of humidity. 7. Selected concepts of renewable energy generation and storage including flow-through batteries. Biofuels, photovoltaics. Heat pumps. Stirling engine. Low-temperature Rankin cycle. 8. Batteries and their construction. Comparison of available batteries with those in the development stage. 9. Specialty products with micro-structure. Concept of soft matter. 10. Mechanical and rheological properties of materials and their temperature dependence. Toughness and impact resistance. 11. Dispersions in product engineering.
