Department of Polymer TechnologyBold text Italic text

The Department of Polymer Technology was established in 1996 with an aim to provide technical services and manpower for various polymer industries. A Four year B.Tech course in Polymer Technology, first of its kind in Tamil Nadu, was started with an intake of 30 students. The students are trained in different areas of Polymer Processing, Product Design, Design & Fabrication of Moulds and Polymer Testing.

The Department has good infrastructure and well-equipped laboratories. There are about seven highly qualified faculties in different areas of Polymer Technology and allied fields. Advanced computing facilities with latest simulation software such as MOLDFLOW, and sophisticated equipment / machinery available in the department enable the students to acquire useful practical knowledge needed for the polymer industry. Special training is also given to the students in CAD/CAM/CAE using IDEAS, FEMAP, pro-ENGINEER, MOLDFLOW etc.

The Department conducts regular training programs in MOLDFLOW for students of other educational institutions and industrial persons.

The Association of Polymer Technologists (APT), an exclusive student body of the department, conducts annually a national symposium CRESMER to bring all polymer technologists together. Eminent persons and experts from industry are invited for special lectures to share their experience with the students. Such activities cultivate leadership qualities, professionalism and social responsibilities in them. Industrial visits and in-plant training are arranged frequently to update their practical knowledge. The students carry out their project work in various polymer industries and research institute. Some of them are SRF, Devi Polymers, TI Cycles, L&T, Polytrusion, IOCL, Motherson, CIBA, Reliance and some of the research institutes are CLRI & CECRI.
