Polymer Chemistry
Polymer chemistry is a field of study that merges material science as a fundamental discipline with applied science for practical requirements. This branch of chemistry includes a wide spectrum of fields from a variety of perspectives, including fundamental to applied science, synthesis to physical properties, theory to experiment, organic to inorganic, micro to macro, and so on. The Department of Polymer Chemistry conducts basic research and education on the formation, reaction, structure, properties, and functions of polymers to support fields where advanced applications for polymers are steadily emerging, such as optoelectronics, electronics, information technology, high-performance materials, regenerative medicine, and nanotechnology. The department also contributes to the creation of new science and technology by relaying these achievements to society and by collaborating with related academic fields. The department equips researchers and engineers with the skills necessary to work constructively in advanced polymer-based fields.
