Skrócony opis: |
(tylko po angielsku) The subject aims to provide a better understanding of polymers. In the beginning, a basic definitions and formulae will be introduced. The mechanisms of polymerization reactions, including photopolymerization, will be presented. Moreover, photochemical processes in polymeric materials will be discussed. Polymeric materials are often tested in terms of mechanical properties such as tensile, bending, impact strength, with which a student will be familiar. |
