Research in various aspects of polymers, including their processing, has been carried out at Queen’s University Belfast for over 25 years during this time substantial investment has been made in establishing and maintaining state of the art processing and analytical facilities. Building on the long-established processing expertise in rotational moulding and polymer extrusion and extending into injection moulding, blow moulding and thermoforming, PPRC was established in 1996 to conduct and support leading edge, industrially exploitable, fundamental and applied R&D to demonstrably improve industrial competitiveness.
