| Course abstract | |
| MA course student during the given course studies will obtain the deeper knowledge and skils in: anatomical structure of wood and ultra-structure of wood cell wall; wood polymers, processes of relaxation in wood; technologies of chemical, biological, and physical modification of wood and its high-molecular compounds and technologies of wood and its components the newest generation self-adhering and nano-materials; production of pulp and paper, charcoal and other wood deep processing and their perspectives. | |
| Learning outcomes and their assessment | |
| • Knowledge about chemical processing of wood and their influence on economics and ecology, as well as on the perspective trends of their progress.
• Skills to make use of deep theoretical knowledge into current processes of wood chemical processing and implementation of new ones, as well as to check out potential innovations. • Competence will be developed to students to be able to collect, select, analyze and generalize the information on problems of chemical processing of wood and their positive or negative influence on environment and economics, as well as the competence to explain wood chemical technological requirements to professionals and to explain these technologies influence to common people or clients. |
