As the name implies, the Polymer Research Laboratory focuses on polymer research, particularly the characterization of novel polymeric substances, research on additive processes, testing of novel rubber processes and/or additives, and similar studies. This is supported by the use of crucial equipment available in the laboratory such as but not limited to:
