Department of Polymer Chemistry

Monomers make the Polymers, Polymers change the World.

The Department of Polymer Chemistry has commenced its functioning in 1995, the year at which Mar Thoma College of Science and Technology was inaugurated and affiliated to Kerala university. Since the Polymer Chemistry deals with the applications of Polymers in daily life and in scientific inventions, the Department plays a pivotal role to attract students of urban and rural areas to pursue higher studies in this field. In the last three decades, hundreds of students completed the degree course in Polymer Chemistry with flying colors. We have started the Post Graduate course in Polymer Chemistry in 2012 and it attained a prestigious position among the other PG programmes in our institution. Mar Thoma College of Science and Technology commenced B.Sc. Degree Course in Chemistry in 2021. The conduct of course is under the stewardship of Department of Polymer Chemistry. The Department owns a group of talented teachers including senior Professors who are committed to motivate and guide the students.
