The CRC for Polymers aims to enhance the international competitiveness of the Australian polymer industry through focussed cooperative research and development.
The Centre's objectives are:
To develop innovative polymer science that will reduce production costs, increase recycling, and produce higher value-added and improved products that can compete more effectively in local and export markets.
To promote cooperation and efficiencies in research by strengthening domestic and international research linkages.
To broaden undergraduate and postgraduate education in polymer science and engineering, providing more highly skilled employees for industry.
To be an industry resource, providing R&D services, transfer of technology, and technical advice.
