This area of training is relevant today, because the polymer products widely penetrate into our lives. There is a growing interest in the study of new technologies for the processing of polymers, as well as polymers - materials that can be reused, which is important for the environment. In Russia and abroad continue to develop new technologies and materials. For example, in the United States, a group of scientists at the Massachusetts technical University has developed an isotropic heat-conducting polymer that conducts heat in all directions. Russian scientists have developed a new technology for creating 3D objects from fluoropolymers with nanoparticles. The development of science in the field of half-measures began with the discoveries of scientists Carl Ziegler and Giulio Natta, who were awarded the Nobel prize.
