The major of High Polymer Engineering deals with technology of materials, which have been used in our lives since ancient times. High polymer engineering studies especially new materials, crucial to development of cutting-edge industries, including the following:
-
High-tech machinery, including an automobile, ship, airplane, and so forth
-
Information/electronic/photonics industries, including a semiconductor, LCD TV, pyroelectric/piezoelectric, optical communication, artificial sun, satellite, etc.
-
Bio-engineering such as an artificial kidney, artificial skin, DNA/RNA, etc.
-
Daily-use articles such as cosmetics, food, clothing, paper, rubber, resin, etc.
-
Structure materials for construction, civil engineering, and environment
Today, most articles we see and use in daily life are composed of high polymers and therefore this field of study will play an important role in the future aerospace industry and aviation industry.
