Since its constitution, the Polymer Science and Technology Department is a reference in the research of polymeric materials. Many of the Departmental members were involved during the eighties and nineties in a series of activities in collaboration with industry that crystallized in the Institute of Polymeric Materials (POLYMAT). Currently, both the aforementioned Institute and the Basque Center for Macromolecular Design and Engineering are grouped together under the trademark Polymat.
