Chemical & Biomolecular EngineeringThrough the commercialized chemical processes, organic and inorganic materials are being produced in real life, and material research and development are an important part of chemical engineering. Recently, design and development of manufacturing process of various functional materials have been attempted based on understanding of nanotechnology and molecular modeling. Polymer technology is widely used in rubber, plastics, 3D printing, and biomaterials. The use of these organic and inorganic materials has been combined with chemical engineering in industries such as display and electronic materials, functional fibers, and automobiles, and opportunities for entry into R&D and employment are expanding.
