Polymer Technology

Hi,

This discipline is associated with the study of the creation and properties of various types of plastics, synthetic fibres and rubbers. These polymer materials are an important aspect of material manufacturing and find various applications across all industries. Therefore, it is the discipline which prepares the candidates to contribute to the revolutionary Material Science which is applied for packaging and other purposes.

Hope this helps!
