Polymer Institute Personnel
The Polymer Institute is associated with the
Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Toledo. As such, the Institute faculty are also research faculty members of the Chemical Engineering Department. All Institute faculty have 10 or more years of industrial experience. Our primary responsibilities lie with our research and consulting contracts. However we all teach or assist in the teaching of the courses offered in the Polymer Option of the Chemical Engineering masters degree.
