Specialty Polymers Materials and Applications

Polymers are indispensably everywhere. In performance as well as diversity in applications, they offer novelty and versatility, which is not found in any other kind of materials. Thus polymers occupy a major place and pivotal position in the field of materials today. The progress in the field of polymers has been extremely rapid compared to any other branch of chemistry. Polymers are generally used as passive materials such as in packaging, as adhesives and coatings in electrical, electronics, sensors and photonics etc., besides their major use as structural materials. Therefore, it is the right time to explore the possibility of exposing the world of polymer materials with special properties or for very specialized applications.
