The CRC for Polymers (CRC-P) conducts leading-edge polymer research to deliver the technically advanced polymeric materials and polymer engineering required to transform Australian industries and to establish and expand companies in emerging high-growth areas of the economy.

The overall outcomes that the CRC-P will achieve are:

• Revenue growth from the creation of spin-off small and medium enterprises and the expansion of existing companies as a result of technologies that provide higher value-added and technically superior products.
• Competitive advantages by providing the new polymeric materials required for sustainability and high technology developments and growth in manufacturing, biotechnology, agriculture, mining and energy.
• Significant overseas exports and licensing income from the Centre’s global exploitation of technologies, aided by the global market reach of some industrial participants.
• Increased employment, as a result of business investment and growth, and a consequential strong demand for the postgraduates trained in the CRC-P’s broadening education program as future leaders.
