What is Polymer/Plastic Engineering?

- It is a branch of engineering that designs and analyses plastic materials for helping the manufacture of articles from polymer.

- It uses the basic concepts of engineering.

- It covers aspects of:
-- Petrochemical industry
-- Polymerization
-- Properties of polymers
-- Processing of polymers
-- Description of various polymers
-- Property and application of various types

- Engineers working in this field must have a background in either chemical engineering or polymer engineering.

- For development of eco-friendly plastics and increase recyclability, the role of polymer engineering is important.
