The CRC for Polymers is playing a vital role in the education and training of polymer scientists for Australia's Materials and Manufacturing Industries.

摘要

Polymers play an increasingly vital and growing role in contemporary Australian manufacturing, with production of polymer products valued at over eight billion dollars per annum. To be internationally competitive, Australian manufacturing must be at the forefront of advances in polymer science, engineering and technology. The Cooperative Research Centre for Polymers (CRC-P) assists by providing critical research links between polymer producers, compounders, processors and recyclers in industry, and polymer research providers at universities and government research laboratories. Current participants of the CRC-P include industrial companies; Olex Cables, Basell Australia Pty Ltd., Ciba Specialty Chemicals Inc., Moldflow Pty Ltd, Qenos Pty Ltd, SOLA International Holdings Limited, VisyPak Operations Pty Ltd, Visy Plastics Pty Ltd, the following institutions; Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, Defence Science and Technology Organisation, Monash University, RMIT University, The University of New South Wales, The University of Sydney and the Commonwealth of Australia and The State of Victoria.
