English language
Organisation and examination :
Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :

Course contents :
This course studies macromolecules properties in solution (determination of molecular weight, ...) and at the solid state in function of temperature (Tg, rheology,...).
Learning outcomes of the course :
Understanding of the behavior of macromolecules in solution and at the solid state in function of the temperature and its implication in the characterisation and use of these materials.
