  Research Center for Highly Environmental and Recyclable Polymers

  Under global warming and environmental pollutions, polymer technologies have great roles in developing a sustainable society. The center aims to develop technologies for new generation of highly environmental and recyclable polymers, and also to facilitate their industrialization under active collaboration with domestic and foreign industrial and research groups.

  Research Projects Underway:

  This center is mainly composed of five research groups that are actively conducting researches and education in respective field. The research activities of this center cover all the essential fields such as 1) catalytic monomer synthesis, 2) polymer synthesis, 3) polymer physics, and 4) functionalization of polymers.

  The following researches are being carried out at the center.

  • Research on the developments of highly environmental polyolefin-based materials
  • Material design of novel eco-friendly polymers based on applied rheology
  • Design of Nano-structured Catalysts for Utilization of Biomass-derived Materials
  • Development of high-performance carbon-minus materials using renewable giant macromolecules
  • Development of bio-based functional polymers for energy devices

  In addition, the center is planning to host seminars and international conferences related to polymer science and technologies to arrange research projects with industries and oversea research groups.
