Objectives
The theoretical course offers a conclusive knowledge for students who want te strive for a broad education within the field of textile finishing.
The exercises lead to skills within the field of textile-chemical analyses.
Therefore the students are expected to :
* Work independently in the laboratory.
* Obtain practical insight.
* Work accurately.
* Report observations and results in a paper.
