Organic polymer materials are of critical importance to every aspect of human life, from the clothes that we wear to the computers that we use to the tires on which we drive to the devices through which medicines are administered. A cluster of research groups in the Texas A&M Department of Chemistry pursue fundamental and applied multi-disciplinary research on polymers, including their synthesis, analysis, processing, engineering, and applications.
