Polymer science is one of the most important aspects of modern chemistry.

 

 

Polymers are the single most important types of compounds of our era. Continuous advances in their manufacturing methodologies, compounding, formulation, have led to an unimagined number of new polymers and new applications. Multifunctional materials are being manufactured constantly, offering solutions for numerous known situations. Green polymers, based on natural precursors, are here to be the next big class of organic compounds. New composites are formulated to meet requirements of diverse applications. This seminar covers the following areas:
