Course detail
Summer Laboratory Project - Biocolloids (Applied Chemistry) - master study
FCH-M_SLP-BAcad. year: 2019/2020
Laboratory project with focus on biocolloids - preparation, structure, properties, applications in medicine, environmental technologies and agriculture
Project wil be realized by 1 student or, preferably, by student team (2-4 members). Begins with the project topic selection, followed by the design and realization of experiments, and finalized by data analysis and results evaluation. Tutored by faculty member or expert from industry. Students realize the project, prepare the final project report, present, discuss, and defend obtained results.
