Learning Outcomes

- The student completing this module will obtain a good overall knowledge a wide variety of polymer and biomaterials. S/he can evaluate the behavior of these materials based on the structure and relaxation of the material, as well as evaluate the interaction of these materials with their environment. S/he will be able to work as an expert in polymer and biomaterials sciences. The students will also be able to apply the acquired knowledge in product development and process control taking into account also the economic and sustainability aspects.
