ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): 0 OR 6.00 (depends on study program) Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

Short description:

The aim of the course is to familiarize the student with the basic physicochemical properties of condensed-phase polymers and the methods of their research. In addition, the item contains content related to the problem of polymer recycling.

Full description:

Lecture:

As part of the lecture, the student will learn the basic information on the influence of the chemical structure of the polymer chain on the physicochemical properties in the condensed phase. The lecture covers issues related to the description of the physical states of polymers, phenomenological description of the glass and crystalline state of polymers. The concept of the degree of crystallinity of polymers, review of the most important crystal systems in polymers. Methods for determining the degree of crystallinity of partially crystalline polymers. Influence of the degree of crystallinity of a polymer on its chemical and physical properties. Fundamentals of polymer densitometry. The relationship between the density of a partially crystalline polymer and its degree of crystallinity. Application of WAXS and SAXS methods to study the structure of partially crystalline polymers. Basics of thermal analysis of polymers with particular emphasis on the DSC method. The basic issues related to polymer recycling, including legal conditions and technology of recycling processes, will also be discussed.

Lab:

It provides for the student to independently perform a series of exercises in the field of PET and polyolefin recycling, as well as tests of selected physicochemical properties of polymers. Application of the DSC method to study the physical and processing properties of polymers: determination of temperatures and enthalpy of phase transitions in amorphous and partially crystalline polymers, studies of the crystallization process of polymers under isothermal and non-isothermal conditions. Microscopic studies of polymer morphology and the influence of thermal conditions on the size and growth rate of polymer crystallites.
