AimsToggle Navigation
The following cross skills will be developed:
M03CM17 - Demonstrate observation, analysis and synthesis skills with a capacity for criticism and self-criticism.
M03CM18 - Demonstrate a capacity for learning and for autonomous work for professional development.
M03CM19 - Be able to manage, organise and plan chemical processes, applying criteria of quality and environmental conservation.
M03CM20 - Relate chemistry with other disciplines and understand its impact on the industrial and technological society and the importance of the industrial chemical sector.
Together with the following specific skills:
M03CM02 - Possess basic knowledge of the most common industrial technologies in the production of polymers and the engineering of the reactors used in the production process.
M03CM04 - Possess adequate knowledge of the large families of industrial polymers, their production, properties and most typical applications.
M03CM12 - Possess knowledge of the network tools and services that enable searches for information in the field of chemistry and similar fields.
M03CM13 - Transmit phenomena and processes related to chemistry and similar fields in verbal presentations and/or written reports and in a comprehensible way in either of the two official languages of the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country or in English.
M03CM14 - Be able to use the information and knowledge gained from the module for training in existing or emerging fields related to chemistry.
TemaryToggle Navigation
1.- Introduction to Polymerization Processes

5.- Polymerization in dispersed phase. Suspension and emulsion polymerization
6.- Step-growth polymerization
MethodologyToggle Navigation
Theoretical and practical concepts (exercises, assignments, presentations) will be developed in the on-site lectures. This part of the course will be evaluated by a single written exam and it will take 60% the final mark.
Computer simulations will be conducted to solve an assignment of a polymerization process. In this part of the course, the student will learn how to simulate polymerization processes using a commercial software package (Predici). In this activity, the student will have to seek for the necessary information in the literature, will have to develop a mathematical model for the process and solve it numerically using the simulation package. Finally, he/she will write a report and present it to classmates.
Lab training is also a part of the course. The student will learn how to run a polymerization reaction, and he/she will learn how to measure the kinetics and the microstructure of the polymer under investigation.
Assessment systemsToggle Navigation
As explained in the table above, the written exam will be 60% of the final mark. The simulation report and presentation will be 30% of the mark, and the experimental laboratory work will be 10% of the mark.
As the written exam is 60% of the mark, in order to get a "Non-presented", the student will have to inform the lecturer one month in advance of the exam.
If the student choses the Single exam method to pass the course he/she will have to warn the lecturer no later than 9 weeks after the official launch of the semester his/her decision (according to the rules stablished in article 8 of the chapter 2 of the student evaluation rules of the UPV/EHU). The lecturer will inform the student about the way in which he/she will evaluated in the single exam, but the exam will cover all the aspects cover in the 3 parts of the continuous evaluation. The Single exam request will be in place for the 2 calls of the course.

Required materials will be given at the beginning of the course.
