Research and Testing Facilities

Testing and research facilities/testing equipment of the Polymer Engineering division cover
three important areas of research namely polymer compounding, rheological and processing
with several characterization techniques of different polymeric systems such as plastics,
rubbers, blends, composites, etc.
