Synopsis:

Types of polymers (natural, artificial). Structure of polymers (amorphous, crystalline, fibres, elastomers). Input materials for polymers preparation.

Thermodynamical and kinetic aspects of polymerization. Chemical bonds in polymeric chains.

Physical and chemical properties of polymers (mechanical, thermal).

Electrospinning principle and NANOSPIDER equipment. Nanofibers vs. makroscopic matters-differential properties.

Modifications of polymer nanofibres (via plasmatic technologies,heterogeneous nucleation, bakteriocidity). Properties of polymer-based nanofibres thin films (hydrophobicity).

Application of polymer-based nanofibres in modern civil engineering, protection of cultural heritage and in environment (microfiltration, hydrophobicity,, bacteriocidity).

The visits of specialized labs (NANOSPIDER, Institute of Physics) are also expected.
