Undervisningsformer: Seminarier, projekt, litteraturkurs som självstudier. The teaching is carried out in the form of seminars where the course participants (after literature studies) present, describe and discuss different areas of polymer physics. A literature project is carried out towards the end of the course where the participants will develop a detailed experimental plan (incl. risk assessment) to experimentally characterize one or several polymer materials, with an evaluation based on theoretical grounds.
Examinationsformer: Inlämningsuppgifter, seminarieföredrag av deltagarna
