Form of study
External form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Know inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, organic chemistry and polymer chemistry, instrumental methods of analysis, physical research methods in chemistry, information technologies in chemistry, as well as basic concepts of endo- and exothermic processes that can occur in individual compounds and materials when the temperature increases. 2. Knowledge of English at level B2
Course content
The educational discipline contributes to the formation of generalized and systematized knowledge about the methods of thermal analysis, the possibilities of their use for solving scientific and technological problems, the characteristics of polymers, inorganic materials and pharmaceuticals: differential thermal analysis (DTA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TG). During the study of the theoretical part of the discipline, applicants will be able to (●) obtain information about the physicochemical foundations and the history of the development of the method of thermal analysis of simple and complex substances and materials; (●) get acquainted with the structure and principle of operation of analytical instruments designed for thermal research; (●) to reveal and expand the understanding of the use of thermal analysis methods for qualitative and quantitative analysis of matter, for constructing phase diagrams, as well as for determining the heat of phase transformations and heat of reactions, studying the main aspects of thermal decomposition of substances, analyzing destruction products and processing the results obtained. In addition, applicants will be given the opportunity to become more familiar with some specific methods of studying materials using thermal methods, in particular, synchronous DTA/TG analysis, when performing laboratory work.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures, laboratory work, independent work
Assessment methods and criteria
Semester control includes two module tests (remotely), evaluation of literature search and laboratory reports. Evaluation is carried out on a 100-point system. Final assessment in the form of an exam. The maximum/minimum number of points that a student can receive during the semester assessment is 100 points/60 points.
