      Hi Harry

      I studied Chemistry for my degree, so that involved studying polymers and some small experiments involving them. However it’s only been 1 year since I’ve been working in polymer research.

      38 years. I started working in the polymer industry in late 1976 and I’ve been fascinated by polymers ever since. Even after 38 years, new and exciting things appear all the time.

      Hey,
      I have been working with polymers for 3 years. I also did some work on them when I did my degree, just like Anne did.

      About two-thirds of a year now spent in a group that research polymers (even though I’m not… yet 🙂 )

      Hoi Harry – I haven’t been working with polymers for a long time – just since I started my PhD, which was 1.5 years ago – before that they were mainly something I tackled in undergraduate lectures. However I do see myself using them in the future, especially if working with biomaterials.
