-> POLYMERS ARE THE MOST RAPIDLY GROWING SECTOR OF THE MATERIALS INDUSTRY. NO WONDER ,POLYMERS ARE FOUND IN EVERYTHING FROM COMPACT DISCS TO HIGH TECH AEROSPACE APPLICATIONS.
-> AS POLYMER PRODUCTION HAS GROWN ,SO HAS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN THIS FIELD.
-> IT's ESTIMATED THAT 50 PERCENT OF THE CHEMICAL ENGINEERS AND THE CHEMISTS IN THE UNITED STATES WORK IN THE POLYMER INDUSTRY.
-> POLYMER ENGINEERS NEED TO APPLY THE TRADITIONAL SKILLS OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERS ,SUCH AS PLANT DESIGN, PROCESS DESIGN ,THERMODYNAMICS AND TRANSPORT PHENOMENA , TO VARIOUS PROBLEMS INVOLVING THE PRODUCTION AND USE OF POLYMERS.
-> ENGINEERS WHO SPECIALIZE IN THERMOSETS ARE CAPABLE FOR THE CREATION OF BUILDING MATERIALS ,SUCH AS FIBER-GLASS AND ARAMIDS. THESE MATERIALS ARE GENERALLY USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF LIGHTWEIGHT STRUCTURES AND MUST BE CERTIFIED DUE TO SAFETY REGULATIONS .
-> SINCE THE THERMOPLASTICS ARE A TYPE OF TRANSPARENT ,LOW DENSITY POLYMER ,THEREFORE THEY ARE OFTEN USED IN CONSUMER PRODUCTS SUCH AS FOOD STORAGE CONTAINERS .
-> A POLYMER ENGINEER MUST BE PROFICIENT IN ALL THE FACETS OF POLYMER TECHNOLOGY ,INCLUDING THE CHEMISTRY, PROCESSING AND SYNTHESIS NEEDED TO CREATE THE POLYMER MATERIALS.
-> THE EXTREME COMPLEXITY OF POLYMER TECHNOLOGY REQUIRES A BACKGROUND IN CHEMISTRY ENGINEERING WITH A SPECIALIZATION IN POLYMER SCIENCE.
POLYMER ENGINEERING EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES:
->AS A GRADUATE OF THE POLYMER ENGINEERING OPTION, YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF POLYMERS CAN GIVE YOU AN ADVANTAGE WHEN COMPETING FOR CHEMICAL ENGINEERING JOBS INCLUDING:
1) PROCESS ENGINEERING IN POLYMER-PRODUCING CHEMICAL COMPANIES.
2) PROCESS ENGINEERING IN POLYMER PROCESSING OR FABRICATION
3) SCALE-UP OF NEW SYNTHETIC CHEMISTRY FROM LABORATORY DEVELOPMENT TO PILOT PLANT AND LARGE SCALE PRODUCTION
4)RESEARCH AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT IN POLYMER SYNTHESIS
5) RESEARCH AND PROCESS DEVELOPMENT IN POLYMER PROCESSING.
your blog is really very helpful. thanksz :)
