Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

This course is about plastics and other polymeric materials in a circular society. The properties, production, strengths and weaknesses of the most common polymers are described, both from a user’s perspective and from a sustainability perspective, aiming towards a circular economy. This is an individual project course where the student choses and analyses a real polymer-related scenario, using knowledge in circular economy and polymer science. Participants from outside academia are welcome to choose a topic related to their work experience

Note that this project-based online course will be given in Swedish!

Intended learning outcomes

After the course, the student will be able to: 

  • Apply methods and knowledge about polymers in a circular economy on a real-world problem related to polymers. 
  • Analyse, on a real-word application, opportunities and challenges for how polymeric materials can contribute to a sustainable society and a circular economy. 
  • Present the analysis orally and in written form.
