Study programme competences / results |
The course offers an advanced polymer and soft matter physics and physical chemistry study: rationale and methods. The aim is to teach students the basics of architecture of the polymer chains, basic aspects of the properties of polymer solutions, interactions and relationship with the chemical structure, including phase behavior. It also aims to provide perspective on the experimental scattering techniques, analysis and interpretation of data relating to the characterization of materials. An introduction to the theory of diffraction and instrumentation is offered. In addition, selected examples of polymeric materials with a view to developing the experience and knowledge of practical aspects will be presented. |

To help achieve a sustained immediate environment and meet the objective of action number 5: "Healthy and sustainable environmental and social teaching and research" of the "Green Campus Ferrol Action Plan: The delivery of the documentary work carried out in this subject: - They will be requested in virtual format and/or computer support
- It will be done through Moodle, in digital format without the need to print them.
- If it is necessary to make them on paper:
Plastics shall not be used
Double-sided printing shall be carried out.
Recycled paper will be used.
Printing of drafts shall be avoided.
- A sustainable use of resources and the prevention of negative impacts on the natural environment must be made. - It will work to identify and change gender biases and attitudes, and influence the environment to change them and promote values of respect and equality. - Situations of discrimination should be identified and actions and measures proposed to correct them. |
