Course objectivePolymer synthesis and advanced materials, the basic and advanced polymerization reactions will be learned in a detailed manner. Specialize in the polymer after the bachelor's degree or students who want to learn about the subject in more depth on the topic of infrastructure will be provided. Course also gained the ability to pass on the knowledge gained will be implemented in research and application conditions. During the application period and method of the study on the technique of choice to provide the knowledge and skills will be learned. That in the field of theoretical and practical information, the circumstances in which a realistic solution by adapting emerging scientific point of view, and develops strategies to the problems.
