Lectures are given only in odd years. Subject is composed of three modules, 8h each: 1. Modern methods of polymer characterization (prof. Merna)- advanced method of polymer characterization and their principles, separation techniques, spectroscopy 2. Organometallic Chemistry and Catalysis for Polymer Synthesis (Dr. Gonsales)- introduction to organometallic chemistry: structure and bonding, types of reactions of organometallic complexes, organometallics in catalysis, polymerization of olefins 3. Biodegradable polymers (Dr. Vránová) - mechanisms and evaluation of polymer biodegradation, ecotoxicity, application of selected polymers The subject follows up with the other subjects of Polymer Manufacture and processing technology program and increases the knowledge in special and perspective fields of polymer technology. Final test from all modules takes place in the last week of semester.
