The Polymer Industry Cluster, in partnership with The University of Akron, has announced the location of a new facility designed to help researchers, small businesses and established polymer companies accelerate the production of advanced polymer materials and support go-to-market strategies for these innovators.
The facility will be located adjacent to the National Polymer Innovation Center (NPIC) building on The University of Akron (UA) campus in Ohio. This co-location will enable close connection with NPIC’s polymer science and engineering resources and provide a central location for the region’s polymer companies.
“This project underscores Akron’s position as the hub of polymer innovation,” said Hans Dorfi, executive director and chief innovation officer of the Polymer Industry Cluster.
