| More specifically, upon completion of the course they will be able to
• understand, explain and review the specific needs and requirements of polymer identification, chemical characterization of polymers. (k2, k3, k4, k5)
• understand, explain, and review the basics of simple polymer identification, concepts of plastic composition, spectroscopic methods, thermal analysis, chromatographic methods for polymer characterization. (k2, k3, k4, k5)
• develop analysis pathways for polymeric materials and composites. (k6)

Underlying concepts and details of
• polymer identification with basic tools
• polymer identification with advanced methods (spectroscopy)
• thermal analysis (TGA, DSC, TMA, etc)
• mass spectrometric techniques (MALDI, pyrolysis-GC-MS, HPLC-MS)
• determination of molecular weights and distributions (SEC, light scattering, colligative properties)
• application of combined methods for the determination of industrially relevant properties
