Welcome to the Centre for High Performance Polymers (CHPP)

The Centre was established on January 1, 2003 and focuses on developing high performance polymers for high value added manufacturing, biopolymers and nanostructured polymers. The CHPP involves a team of around 50 researchers from the Centre for Magnetic Resonance, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Dentistry, Anatomy and Biomedical Sciences. The CHPP key core research areas are shown below;

The CHPP also has key links to other research centres at UQ namely the Nanomaterials Centre, the Centre for Microscopy and Microanalysis and the Surface Analysis Centre and extenal links to Queensland Manufacturing industry which provide access to additional expertise and equipment. The CHPP is also part of the Australian Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN).
