19	Objective of the Course:	The aim of the course is to teach functional polymers used in products structures. To investigate the chemical and physical structures of polymers those provide functionality to them and teach how to transfer functionality of the polymers to textile structures without any functionality loss. Conductive, shape memory, self-healing, optical, and biological based polymeric structures will be examined.
20	Contribution of the Course to Professional Development	The mechanisms of polymeric structures that have specific functionality such as conductive, shape-memory, self-healing will be comprehended.

Learning Outcomes:

1	Being able to understand the functionality of polymers;
2	Being able to argue how the chemical and physical structures of polymer provide functionality to them;
3	Being able to distinguish how to transfer functionality of the polymers to novel structures ;
