- Understand and explain physico-chemical properties related to polymers. (k2)
- Understand and explain the basics of chemistry and chemical processes. (k2)
- Understand and explain polymerization, polyaddition, and polycondensation reactions. (k2)
- Understand technical polymers and biopolymers besides their raw materials and production. (k1, k2)

Underlying concepts and details of:
- Molecular structure of thermoplastics, elastomers, and thermosets
- Sequence isomerism, stereoisomerism (tacticity), and structural isomerism
- Structure-property relationships of molecular weight, crystallinity, stiffness, and thermal behavior
- Radical, ionic, and catalyzed polymerization
- Polymerization processes
- Polyolefines, polyesters, Styrene polymers, rubbers, resins, polyamides, polyurethanes, and epoxy resins
- Basics for biopolymers (e.g., biodegradability, biodegradation process) using selected polymer examples (e.g., polyesters, starch, cellulose)
