POLYMER PHYSICS AND ADVANCED MANUFACTURING

Understanding the material to transform its manufacture.

At POLYMAT, we investigate the physical principles of polymers and their behavior in advanced manufacturing processes.
From crystallization in multiphase systems to 3D printing and advanced manufacturing, our research lines connect basic science and industrial application.


The Polymer Physics and Advanced Manufacturing area studies the relationship between structure, properties, and processing in complex polymer systems.
We analyze phenomena such as crystallization and applied rheology to design multiphase materials, nanocomposites, and functional polymers adapted to advanced manufacturing technologies and industrially scalable.
