Degree: Master of Science in Polymer Technology, M.Sc.
Code: TEC
The research programme in polymer technology is an advanced, inquiry-driven initiative aimed at addressing contemporary challenges and exploring innovation in polymer science and technology. The programme is designed for researchers seeking to contribute original research in the development, processing, and application of polymeric materials.
With an interdisciplinary approach that integrates chemistry, physics, material science, and engineering, the programme provides a dynamic environment for fundamental and applied research. It supports both theoretical investigations and experimental methodologies, emphasising industrial relevance, sustainability, and technological advancement.
The programme is structured around six strategic specialisation areas (but not limited to):
- Polymer synthesis
- Coatings technology
- Polymer composites and biocomposites
- Polymer emulsions
- UV curing of polymeric materials
- Modification of polymeric materials
Each area is aligned with current scientific trends and industrial demands.
You can also suggest your topic. At the end of your research, you will write a thesis and defend it in the Viva Voce. Depending on the depth of the research and your qualifications, you can do your master's or doctoral work.
