General information
- Credits
- 5 cr
- Institution
- University of Tampere
Objectives
After the course students are able to evaluate and predict the behaviour of polymers based on their structure, analyse the most important phenomena defining the behaviour of polymers in solutions as well as in liquid crystal and solid state. In addition, the students are able to apply the basic theories of polymer physics in practice.
