Industrial Polymers,Metals and Composites Chemistry

Chemistry Conference-Industrial Chemistry: there are units on all the major types of polymers made in large bulk, such as the polyalkenes, polyurethanes, acrylics, polycarbonates and silicones and which play such a large part in maintaining and improving our living standards.  They are used in so many ways, from furniture to surgical instruments, from clothing to buildings.  Three more recent areas of polymer development are introduced.  One is in the area of so-called speciality polymers, often produced in small amounts for specific purposes.  One such is the family of polyphenylsulfones.  Another group is the degradable polymers, developed in order to improve the environmental legacy of these important compounds.  A third area is in the development of composites.

The extraction and the subsequent processing of metals are based on chemical principles and so their inclusion on this site is important.  Further, the metals and alloys produced, as well as being essential for all our lives, are also used in many industrial chemical processes.
