The aim of polymer analytics is to characterize polymers with respect to chemical composition, chemical structure and morphology. Polymer testing serves the purpose of determination of material properties in order to proper design of plastics and rubber parts as well as to predict the behaviour of the parts at conditions of application. The module provides knowledge to understand and to perform of advanced analytical test methods as well as advanced material testing.

1. Advanced spectroscopic methods
   1.1 Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
   1.2 Mass spectrometry
2. Coupled methods in polymer analytics
   2.1 Chromatography and mass spectrometry
   2.2 Thermogravimetry and infra red spectroscopy
3. Theoretical describtion of mechanical behaviour of polymers
4. Dynamic properties of polymers and corresponding testing methods
   4.1 Determination of complex modulus and damping by hysteresis test methods
   4.2 Fatigue behaviour
   4.3 Time - Temperature - Superposition principle and master curves
5. Advanced stress relaxation test methods
6. Determination of crosslink density and network structure
