After completing the course Biopolymers, students will understand the problems of relationships and characteristics of important representatives of biopolymers. Emphasis will be placed not only on the understanding of the relationship between primary structure and higher structures but also on the involvement of individual compounds in complex matrices, occurring in living systems. Selected examples will be able to derive general properties for that group of substances. Students will understand the evolution of biopolymers as well as you will be aware of the environmental implications of obtaining biopolymers. It also assumes basic knowledge of the ethics of the use of biopolymers.

Recommended: Biology, Biochemistry

Teaching in the course takes place through consultations or is properly scheduled.

The course is closed by an oral exam.

The aim of the course is to introduce students a broad topic of biocompatible and biodegradable polymers. Topics are of two kinds: focusing on specific usage with a list of appropriate biopolymers; focused on specific biopolymers, whose examples are the general principles applicable to a particular group of biopolymers. Emphasis is placed on the context and application potential of the individual biopolymers.
