	Objectives
	LEARNING OBJECTIVES: KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING THE COURSE HAS THE OBJECTIVE OF INTRODUCING THE MAIN CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES OF MATERIALS AND IN PARTICULAR OF DEVELOP AWARENESS OF THE FUNDAMENTALS OF CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES IN THE FIELD OF POLYMERIC MATERIALS APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING LABORATORY EXERCISES ALLOW YOU TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES AVAILABLE AND TO ADDRESS INDEPENDENTLY THE STUDY OF THE ISSUES ADDRESSED DURING THE COURSE. MAKING JUDGMENTS THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO CRITICALLY DISCUSS THE VALIDITY OF THE RESULTS OBTAINED IN DISCUSSIONS PROMOTED BY THE TEACHER IN THE LABORATORY GROUP. COMMUNICATION SKILLS THE COURSE WILL ENABLE STUDENTS TO ACQUIRE THE APPROPRIATE TERMINOLOGY IN DESCRIBING THE ANALYZES CARRIED OUT THANKS TO THE THANKS TO THE STUDY OF ARTICLES PUBLISHED IN INTERNATIONAL JOURNALS TOO.

	Teaching Methods
	TEACHING PROVIDES 64 HOURS OF DIDACTICS OF WHICH 16 HOURS OF LESSONS AND 48 HOURS OF EXERCISES AND PRACTICAL LABORATORY. CLASSROOM LESSONS WILL BE HELD WITH THE HELP OF PROJECTIONS AND ACCESS TO FREELY AVAILABLE ONLINE MEDIA. GUIDED EXPERIMENTS IN THE LABORATORY OF CHARACTERIZATION OF POLYMERIC MATERIALS WILL INCLUDE ACTIVITIES GUIDED BY THE TEACHER ON THE MOST COMMON TECHNIQUES OF CHARACTERIZATION OF POLYMERIC MATERIALS (X-RAY DIFFRACTION, THERMOGRAVIMETRY, DIFFERENTIAL SCANNING CALORIMETRY, DYNAMIC MECHANICAL ANALYSIS..ETC). FOR THIS COURSE 75% ATTENDANCE IS COMPULSORY. AT THE END OF THE LABORATORY PRACTICE, THE STUDENT HAS TO WRITE A SCIENTIFIC REPORT ON THE CARACTERIZZATIONS PERFORMED IN THE LABORATORY TO BE DELIVERED TO THE TEACHER BEFORE ATTENDING THE EXAM.
