What is Polymer and Color Chemistry? The polymer and color chemistry program is a new rigorous degree program, modernized from our former BS in Textile Chemistry…

Polymers. Our daily lives are filled with products comprising a multitude of materials (fibers, plastics, metals), many of which are made from polymers. Color. Almost all these materials are colored in some way, either by dyeing, printing, packaging, or painting, for instance. The Polymer and Color Chemistry program is unique in North America in that it addresses the science and technology of the fascinating fields of polymers and color chemistry. As such, our program is highly relevant to many of the chemical, retail and textile industries, as well as environmental and medical science. Exceptional job opportunities Polymer and Color Chemistry. (formerly textile chemistry) graduates are sought after by a broad range of companies throughout the United States as well as internationally, from chemical manufacturing companies such as DuPont, Monsanto and Ciba to global textile retail companies such as Nike and The Gap, automotive companies like GM, and even the FBI for forensic science work. Reid Clonts. Reid is from Lexington, South Carolina, and is a senior majoring in both Polymer and Color Chemistry and Chemistry. She has performed undergraduate research in a revolutionary approach to dyeing fibers that uses supercritical fluid carbon dioxide in place of water, and has interned at Milliken & Co. Reid intends to go to graduate school to study polymer chemistry. Robert Smith. Robert hails from Charlotte, North Carolina, and is a senior majoring in Polymer and Color Chemistry. He has performed under- graduateresearch in the synthesis of new dyes with inherent water repellency for fibers. He has interned at Burlington Industries and will be working full-time for Dyadic International, Inc. using enzymes on textile fabrics. Jeff Peet. Jeff is originally from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and is a senior double majoring in Polymer and Color Chemistry and Materials Science and Engineering. In addition to being a leader in the University Honors Program, Jeff has been involved in polymer blending research since he was a freshman, studied abroad, and interned with Milliken & Co. Jeff is going to graduate school at UC Santa Barbara to study conductive polymers. Sonja Salmon. Sonja, long-time resident of Raleigh, North Carolina, majored in Textile Chemistry (now Polymer and Color Chemistry). After graduating in 1989 with her BS degree, she completed a Ph.D. in Fiber and Polymer Science at NCSU, with a minor in biochemistry. Her strong interest in natural products led her to work for a leading biotechnology company, Novozymes North America…
