Ceramics vs. Polymers: Dawn of materials

General description

-DPE, PP, PVC, PS, PET...

-Does that mean anything to you? No? Does it sound familiar, though you don't know exactly what they are?

-Have you ever wondered what are bricks, pipes, gas fire radiants, cookware, wall tiles and many more products made of ?

- Do you want to know the latest developments in the world of new materials?

LBG Skopje is inviting you to witness the battle between polymers and ceramics and understand why they are so different!

Do not miss out the chance to participate in the course that will give you the chance to learn everything you never dared to ask about materials!

If you want to know:

• The structure, technology, preparation and production of materials;

• What biomaterials are;

• Traditional and modern methods for synthesis and processing of polymers and ceramics;

• The path from a monomer to biodegradable polymer;

Don’t let anyone tell you, come and experience the BEST course with us!
