Functional Polymer and Rubber Technology Lab

Vision

Our vision revolves around expanding the horizons of polymer science and engineering to create novel materials that tackle pressing societal issues which involve developing new polymers with unique properties i.e., sustainability, biodegradability, and recyclability, improving existing polymer manufacturing processes, and exploring new applications for polymers in various industries. To achieve our vision, we mainly aim to discover new polymerization techniques, develop advanced polymer processing methods, and investigate the structure-property relationships of polymeric materials on a variety of research areas. We strive our collaboration with other research groups and industry partners to develop new materials and technologies into practical applications that benefit society. Our vision is likely to be driven by a desire to create innovative materials that can have a positive impact on society, the environment, and the economy.
