Exam

The examination will take place on Apr 29th, starting from 9am.

The examination is taken orally. Preparation time 30 min, exam time 30 min.

You will receive three questions in your examination paper from which you can chose any two to answer.

You are not allowed to use any notes, books or computer during the preparation. You will need a calculator to perform necessary numerical estimates.

The examination questions can be found here. The topics planned for the Lecture 15 (Polymer and Gels) are not included in the examination.

Please contact me if you have any questions: lg@nano.aau.dk
