Course content
In 'Biopolymeric Materials', emphasis will be placed on the properties and behavior of biological macromolecules at concentrations above critical overlap concentration, such as viscosity profile, order / disorder transitions, gel formation, viscoelastic properties and phase behavior when mixing macromolecules. Examples of the use of biopolymers will be given with special emphasis on biomedicine and biopolymers used in immobilization of cells and enzymes. Demonstration of rheological equipment for characterization of soft materials will be given. Uncertainty analysis and research planning: -Uncertainty analysis -Hypothesis testing -Simple linear regression -Experimental design with two-level factorial experiments -Analysis of variance (ANOVA) -Nonparametric methods -Use of Excel and SPSS for statistical analysis.
Learning outcome
Biopolymeric materials: Basic knowledge of biological biopolymers in concentrated solutions and gels, materials based on them and how such materials can be tailored and changed to defined properties. The student has knowledge of the basic statistical models and methods used in science and technology. The student can interpret results of hypothesis testing, regression analysis, experimental design, analysis of variance and nonparametric methods. The student can use software for statistical calculations and analyzes.
Learning methods and activities
Biopolymeric materials: Lectures and demonstrations. Uncertainty analysis and research planning: Lectures (24 h), exercises (8 h).
Compulsory assignments
- Exercises statistics
Further on evaluation
Uncertainty analysis and research planning: The number of exercises is 4, all must be approved to take the written exam (2 hours). Biopolymeric materials and Uncertainty analysis and research planning: Written exam (2 hours). Both parts of the exam must be passed to receive a passing grade in the course. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
Recommended previous knowledge
Previous knowledge in biochemistry, microbiology, biochemical engineering, and molecular genetics is required; e.g. corresponding to the courses TBT4107, TBT4110, TBT4145 and TBT4135. Basic course in Statistics from BSc.
