| Analyze polymers based on their micro and macro structure and assign them to relevant physical-chemical states (solution, melt, solid) (k1-k3)
Distinguish between measurement methods for the micro and macro structure of polymers and use the measurement results (e.g. molar mass, degree of branching, melt temperature) for relevant problems (e.g. process optimization, failure analysis) (k1-k5)
Calculate physical-chemical parameters of polymers and assign them to relevant processing processes or application cases (k1-k6)
