Today, polymers are everywhere — and at the heart of countless innovations. From luxury materials to renewable energy, from medical devices to high-tech cosmetics, polymer science powers modern industry. During this webinar, discover how ITECH Lyon trains future engineers to design the materials shaping tomorrow’s world.
Students in this major learn to formulate paints and varnishes, inks, adhesives, and cosmetics. They select the different raw materials and develop the manufacturing process so that the final product meets the specifications both in terms of use and technical, regulatory, and environmental characteristics.
In addition to their knowledge of polymer raw materials, ITECH engineers master the eco-design of plastic parts and all the techniques for implementing and characterizing these materials (from the design of tools to the management of production in the transformation workshop).
ITECH Lyon is the only institute to train engineers in the field of leather. ITECH offers a comprehensive education covering the transformation of the material (from waste hides to the noble material) right up to its use (footwear and leather goods). Thus, ITECH engineers master all the stages of the industry, from chemical aspects to industrial processes.
Thanks to their mastery of raw materials (natural, artificial, and synthetic) and of all the stages in the manufacture of a textile (spinning, weaving, knitting, finishing, garment making), ITECH engineers are able to develop innovative textile materials, orchestrate manufacturing and quality control, while always seeking the best environmental practices. The skills are developed through teaching in close collaboration with companies located in the technological hub of Roanne.
