Physical Chemistry of Polymers C
15.0 ECTS creditsThe course consists of two components: a theory module and a project module. The theory component has a duration of about seven weeks of full-time study, while the project component corresponds to about three weeks of full-time study. The components run parallel and are partly integrated.
Theory
Instruction is in the form of lectures and seminars. The course content is presented in lectures and students are given the opportunity to practice and discuss it in the seminars.
The course deals with the basic theories of the physical chemistry of macromolecules, diluted and concentrated solutions, interactions, phase transitions, solubility and ion strength effects, basic and applied thermodynamics, a survey of current research areas in the physical chemistry of macromolecules, and experimental methods. The course requires a high degree of individual study.
Project
Students carry out a project based on studies derived from the scientific literature, complete a literature study, and are introduced to software and technology that can be used to present a so-called poster or other type of graphic presentation. The project is an individual assignment. Field trips to companies, research institutes and so on can be included and may entail extra costs which are paid in part or in full by the students.
