Welcome to Lehigh Polymer Science and Engineering!

What is PSE

WHAT IS POLYMER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING?

Polymer science and engineering is an interdisciplinary field that integrates principles from engineering, chemistry, and physics to study polymers. Polymers are large molecules composed of chemically bonded repeat units called monomers. The unique molecular structure of polymers gives them remarkable versatility, enabling them to be easily processed and shaped into complex forms. As a result, polymers are used in a vast array of products and are produced in large quantities, making them essential to our everyday lives. | READ MORE >>
