Annotation -
The subject deals with polymer molecular and supramolecular structure, network formation, free volume concept, glass transition, crystallization, linear and rubber elasticity, viscoelasticity, melt flow properties, yielding and fracture, miscibility and swelling of polymers, electrical properties, transport properties. Fundamental knowledge of differential and integral calculi, combinatorics, thermodynamics and chemical structure of basic polymers are required. Exemplars and tasks for homework will be given at lectures. The exam consists of written (imposition with similar tasks) and oral part.
