Development of natural and synthetic nonmetallic materials, which demand different technologies for obtaining, characterizing and processing – they are identified along the production chain of the polymer industry. These are of interest and application in engineering and industrial companies.

In this chain, there are the Petrochemical and Chemical industries, producers of raw materials; following the processing companies that include the industries of the Rubber, Plastic, Composites, Paints and Adhesives sectors. Following there are the users of polymer-based products, which manufacture goods and final products using the latter as inputs and components, such as the automotive, naval, health, medical-hospital, footwear, aeronautical, construction, packaging, toys, sanitation, agricultural machinery, equipment, oil, gas, among others.
