Ph.D. in Catalysis and Polymer Chemistry focuses on the research of catalyst-mediated chemical reactions as well as polymer production, characterization, and application. The program typically lasts 3-5 years and integrates instruction in organic chemistry, materials science, polymer science, and chemical engineering with hands-on research. Students learn about catalytic processes, polymerization methodologies, polymer characterization, and the development of sustainable materials. Novel catalytic systems, polymerization process optimization, and the development of high-performance or biodegradable polymers are all possible research topics. Graduates are equipped for positions in academia, research, or industry such as pharmaceuticals, materials science, and green chemistry, which advance catalysis and polymer technologies.
