BE Polymer Engineering

Bachelor of Engineering in Polymer Engineering

BE Polymer Engineering or Bachelor of Engineering in Polymer Engineering is an Under-Graduate Polymer Engineering course. Polymer engineering is generally an engineering field that designs, analyses, and or modifies polymer materials. Polymer engineering covers aspects of the petrochemical industry, polymerization, structure and characterization of polymers, properties of polymers, compounding and processing of polymers and description of major polymers, structure-property relations and applications. 

Also, Polymer Engineering is associated with the theory of chemical engineering and caters to the production and use of polymers. Polymer engineers use the principles of plant design, process design, thermodynamics and transport phenomena to develop new products. Polymer engineers can supervise the production process of plastics and other polymers as well. The duration of the Bachelor of Engineering course in Polymer Engineering is four years.
