Practical laboratory work (TP 12 hours)
The practical laboratory sessions will take place in small groups through collaborative work. Each team will be responsible for developing a project linked to a specific theme, designed to illustrate some fundamental concepts of polymer chemistry and technology. Emphasis will be placed on experimental work, critical interpretation of results, and connection to the theoretical notions studied in class. A written report will be required and will be evaluated as part of the final grade.
Project work (10 hours)
The project involves preparing and delivering a scientific presentation on the work completed in the lab sessions (TP). Each group is expected to outline the initial problem, present the experimental techniques used, illustrate the results in a structured and critical way, and explain the underlying theoretical concepts. This exercise is designed to develop both scientific skills (rigor, critical thinking, integration of theory and practice) and transferable skills (oral communication, teamwork, synthesis). The presentation will be evaluated as part of the final grade.
