Lecture:
As part of the lecture, the student will learn the basic information on the influence of the chemical structure of the polymer chain on the physicochemical properties in the condensed phase. The lecture covers issues related to the description of the physical states of polymers, phenomenological description of the glass and crystalline state of polymers. The concept of the degree of crystallinity of polymers, review of the most important crystal systems in polymers. Methods for determining the degree of crystallinity of partially crystalline polymers. Influence of the degree of crystallinity of a polymer on its chemical and physical properties. Fundamentals of polymer densitometry. The relationship between the density of a partially crystalline polymer and its degree of crystallinity. Application of WAXS and SAXS methods to study the structure of partially crystalline polymers. Basics of thermal analysis of polymers with particular emphasis on the DSC method. The basic issues related to polymer recycling, including legal conditions and technology of recycling processes, will also be discussed.

Lab:
It provides for the student to independently perform a series of exercises in the field of PET and polyolefin recycling, as well as tests of selected physicochemical properties of polymers. Application of the DSC method to study the physical and processing properties of polymers: determination of temperatures and enthalpy of phase transitions in amorphous and partially crystalline polymers, studies of the crystallization process of polymers under isothermal and non-isothermal conditions. Microscopic studies of polymer morphology and the influence of thermal conditions on the size and growth rate of polymer crystallites.
