1. Introduction to the material characterization legislation. 2. Measurement of basic physical properties (dimensions, temperature, density, humidity), general analytical procedures for material and additive evaluation (polymer identification tests, characteristic elements, characteristic numbers, determination of water, solids, ash, extract). 3. Methods of determining molecular weight distribution and separation methods (chromatography). 4. Methods of evaluating supramolecular structure and their connection with processing conditions, relationships between structure and mechanical properties of polymer products and test specimens, conditioning. 5. Thermal analysis methods (TGA, DSC, DTA, TMA, DMA). 6. Spectroscopic methods. 7. Short-term mechanical static tests (tension, pressure, bending, shear, hardness). 8. Mechanical dynamic tests (rebound elasticity, impact and notch toughness), long-term mechanical static tests (stress relaxation, creep, permanent deformation). 9. Methods used to detect degradation and the effect of polymer stabilization (UV), thermal properties (basic material thermal constants, resistance to low and high temperatures, flammability). 10. Rheological properties of solutions, melts of thermoplastics, reactive plastics and composite materials, plasticity a vulcanization characteristics of rubber compounds. 11. Electrical and dielectric properties of polymers, tests surface wear. 12. Imaging methods: optical microscopy, digital 3D microscopy, SEM. 13. Imaging methods: TEM, AFM. 14. Possibilities of monitoring the extraction of substances and the effect of substances on their surroundings.
