Learning outcomes

After completing this course, student is able to prepare samples of biodegradable polymers. Student knows how to work in clean room conditions. Student can summarize common things about sterilizing and packaging. Student has examined polymer degradation by hydrolysis test series and mechanical properties and can perform different characterization methods to study biodegradable polymers. Student can calculate results, collect them and analyze their meaning. Students have created a poster presentation as a group work, criticized their own results and evaluated the work of other groups.
