UST ChE Makes Stronger Bonds with Polymers

by Roxanne Mae G. Suyu

The Chemical Engineering Society (ChES) conducted a polymer symposium titled “Linking Up”, at UST Beato Angelico AVR last August 20, 2014. The event was organized with a purpose of fostering Chemical Engineering students’ knowledge about polymers and the materials’ significance to the industry. Two discussions from polymer specialists, Dr. Christina A. Binag and Engr. Rolando Marasigan became the highlight of the event. Dr. Binag discussed about the updates on producing polymers as she laid an emphasis on the present situation of modernized and highly technology-oriented processing in light weight plastics and rubbers. On the other hand, Engr. Marasigan lectured about the current situation of the polymer industry. He stressed out the significance of polymerical fields including research, development and production. A participative open forum among the audience followed the consecutive discussions.
