Polymer Science and Plastics
The polymer industry synthesizes and processes macromolecular materials for packaging, electronics, automotive, biomedical, and construction sectors. Academic polymer groups generate IP in controlled radical polymerization, recyclable thermosets, and biobased polymers that companies license for commercial scale-up.
