expected to be able to understand modern
analytical methods used and choose an
appropriate testing method for the analysis and
identification of different materials.
Course contents
Lectures and theoretical exercises on selecting
analytical methods, spectroscopic methods,
thermal methods, chromatographic methoods,
microscopic methods and failure analysis.
Laboratory exercises on optical microscopy, UV-
Vis and DSC.
Excursion to analytical facility.
