Approval of the Program of Interdisciplinary Polymer Science and Technology

Our university's proposal for the establishment of Polymer Science and Technology Department to provide interdisciplinary education within the scope of the Institute of Science in order to increase the program diversity by opening new graduate programs within the universities of our universities and to open the Graduate Program of Polymer Science and Technology with Thesis related to this department has been found appropriate.

Why Polymer Science and Technology Graduate Program?

In recent years polymeric materials have become an indispensable part of everyday life as end products from everyday polymers or advanced engineering polymers. As a result of the production of plastic and rubber materials with different and superior properties and expanding the usage areas day by day, polymer science and technology department has created its own science and engineering with an interdisciplinary point of view which has exceeded the boundaries of chemistry and chemical engineering today. Especially in the last 50 years, with the rapid increase of polymer production, there has been a great demand for human power grown in the field of polymer science and technology. Taking into account the rapid developments in the automotive, white goods, electronics, consumer durables, communication and textile sectors, it is predicted that the demand for the human power raised in the related area will continue to increase. Today, around 70% of those employed in the chemical industry in the world are dealing with polymers or their derivatives. It is foreseen that most of the world's chemical engineers work in the polymer industry.

In parallel with the development of the polymer related industries such as plastics, synthetic fibers, rubber, adhesives and surface coatings, Polymer Chemistry Departments, and even Polymer Chemistry and Technology Departments have been opened in universities while the priority of Polymer Chemistry is being taught only as a separate course in the universities of developed countries. Polymer Science and Technology is an interdisciplinary project aimed at producing suitable, new, environmentally sensitive and cheaper materials for different sectors in line with their wishes, aiming at the development / improvement of existing processes and modification of products for these purposes and carrying out studies on education and research and development (ArGe) As a discipline, he soon became accepted and attracted great attention all over the world.

At the beginning of the development of the plastics and rubber industry, the need for technical personnel was met with the employment of chemist and chemical engineers. Polymer processing-oriented tasks were carried out by mechanical engineers. However, in all these branches, the basic education about polymers such as polymer synthesis, processing and modification of polymers into final product, modification and characterization of polymer science and technology as a separate program, as a graduate program in higher education programs due to not being able to be given in sufficient discipline in different disciplines has emerged as a need. Polymeric materials are also very important for Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry and Physics Master and / or PhD Programs within the University of Science and Technology.

With the Academic Infrastructure, we are proud to present our graduate program of Polymer Science and Technology Thesis, which is accepted by the Council of Higher Education, with the Thesis of Polymer Science and Technology Thesis, which we propose to educate qualified individuals who will take part in the research and development activities of the polymer industry which is our city and our country. Reaching 35% with an increase of 218%. Our new program, which was launched this year, continues to work at full speed for our first student intake.
