# Materials and Polymers

## **Materials science and technologies associated with the synthesis and application of polymers**

Research and development of new materials and polymers have been essential to advancing technology in many sectors, such as the automotive, aerospace, construction and packaging industries. For example, CETEM and INT carry out studies using ornamental stone waste to produce strong, light, durable and sustainable polymeric materials. Another line of research focuses on improving construction materials, such as refining and purifying mortars, which lowers costs while increasing the durability and safety of buildings. In addition, the demand for more efficient and environmentally friendly materials and polymers keeps growing, creating new business opportunities. Innovation in this field can result in more competitive and profitable products while contributing to the advancement of science and technology.
