[vc_row][vc_column][eikra-vc-text-title title=”About Department”]

The Department of Polymer Science and Technology (PST) was established during 1987-88. It is the only department in the state of Karnataka offering engineering degree in PST (UG, PG, PhD). Department practices outcome based education in the domain of Polymeric materials to impart the science required for engineering skills to develop useful technology in terms of its chemistry, synthesis, blending, compounding, compositing, processing, testing, characterization, recycling, design, and research. It has the privilege of housing state-of-the-art laboratories; industrial collaborative activities; and recognition for research contributions.

Polymers are wonderful macromolecular materials known for their high strength-to-weight ratio with ease of mixing, coloring and shaping that replaces certain metallics & ceramics. Apart from natural polymers in the form of- DNA, skin, proteins, starch, cotton & cellulose (which are foundation components for life), there are hundreds of synthetic polymers in the form of plastics, rubbers, fibers, resins & lattices. With the engineering skills, they are tailor made to have numerous grades that are competitive for its application in almost every field of life viz. Agriculture, Automobile, Aerospace, Construction, Defence, Domestic, Electrical & Electronics, Food, Medical, Adhesives, Coating & Packaging, Submarine, Textiles, etc. Thus, Polymers everywhere!

Message from the department: The department of Polymer Science and Technology (PST) imparts knowledge through a closed knit family of competent mentors. Department caters to its domain industries, institutes and universities by offering fundamental training of polymer / material engineering concepts and skills to its UG and PG candidates. Our laboratories and the industrial training/ projects are well designed to meet the requirements of the industry by covering the entire syllabus. PST has been recognized for its excellence in research, industry-institute interactions, state of the art lab facilities and alumni support. For the last several years, it has been continuously accredited by the NBA. Our graduates are spread across the globe, and with this strong network we continue contributing to all the stakeholders.

As we are part of Material Science and Technology, our students get a unique opportunity to learn from the technological and multidisciplinary environment covering the chemical engineering, design, simulation and management related topics. And, opportunity exists to extend their choice to work with medical, electrical-electronics, civil, mechanical and environmental engineers, as the polymeric materials and its composites are the fundamental materials of interest for its advantageous properties of being lightweight, high strength to weight ratio, ease of shaping to precise dimensions, low cost, aesthetically feasible, etc., which are replacing other conventional materials in these domains. The website, brochure, departmental records and the profiles of individual faculty / alumni portrays the arena of activities including placements and achievements for the information of its stakeholders and aspirants.

It’s just the lack of right awareness among the public due to the limited and inappropriate news which are just confined to the single use plastics! Whereas, polymers are much more than this. It serves as substrate for many engineering and high-performance products, seals, adhesives, coatings, textiles, reinforcements, shields, etc. Thus, people are missing the opportunity to explore these wonderful materials which are part of smart systems without which the sensors and actuators would be just a dream. A huge potential exists in multidisciplinary research at universities and industries both in and abroad; also the government institutes have requirements of polymer engineers; and entrepreneurial opportunities is another portfolio that aspirants can invest upon.

Mr. Ganesh M.,

(1992 )

 

 Managing Director, GLS Polymers Pvt. Ltd.

Chief Executive Officer, E3 wood inc.

 It’s great pleasure & honor that I completed my B.E. in PST from 1st batch in 1992; & served as lecturer at this esteemed organization  with the blessing of His Holiness. Presently, I have  2 organizations: GLS Polymers Pvt. Ltd., (MD) & E3 Wood Inc (CEO). I am proud that this department is working like a Gurukula & I have learnt  many things to turn out as an entrepreneur. I know the huge potential in this field especially in terms of innovation, entrepreneurship, research  and development; thus, we can not think of a day without polymers. Even my daughter is into PST.
Mr. Thej Kumar B., (1995) Associate Vice President – Operations, Product Development and Quality, Toyoda Gosei  South India Pvt. Ltd., Bidadi. The BEST AMONGST THE REST. Yes, when it’s Polymer Science & Engineering education, Department of PST, SJCE, JSSTU is in par excellence with its world class infrastructure, highly committed and dedicated staff nurturing the students with great passion and energy. Enrichment of knowledge through multiple MOU with industries and Universities and an outstanding placement record, having students spread across the globe in great organizations. It’s a perfect place to realize one’s career dream in wonderful materials.
