Type A Code Learning outcomes
 A1.1 Be familiar with the molecular characteristics of common polymers and their applications.
Understand and apply the fundamentals of the thermodynamics of polymeric dissolutions in order to calculate dissolution phase diagrams.
Understand and explain the dependence of viscosity on the density, molecular weight and temperature of common polymer materials.
 A1.4 Make mathematical models of the viscoelastic response of polymeric materials and correctly interpret the experimental data of storage and loss moduli.
Understand and explain the physical meaning of material functions for the rheological behaviour of polymeric fluids.
Understand when a system responds to the principle of dynamic simplicity. Apply the concept of time-temperature superposition for the viscoelastic response.
 A2.2 Know the design parameters for common processing methods such as extrusion and blow extrusion and apply them when designing equipment.
