The Polymer Processing Research Group at UW-Madison examines the manufacturing processes for polymeric products via computational and experimental methods. The specific processes studied within our research group include the following:

• Compression Molding
• Extrusion
• Injection Molding
• Mixing
• Reaction Injection Molding
• Thermoforming
• Blow Molding
• Rotational molding
• Film blowing

Specific polymeric materials studied in the above processes include:

• Thermoplastic polymers
• Thermotropic polymers
• Thermosetting polymers
• Fiber-reinforced composites
