I. Historical evolution
The specialty of polymer materials and engineering has a long history in Nanjing University of Technology. Founded in the early days of 1958, the undergraduate enrolled students majoring in polymer chemical engineering. 1990 was approved by the former Ministry of Chemical Industry to add undergraduate majors in polymer materials and engineering. 199 1 simultaneously recruited two undergraduate majors in polymer chemical engineering and polymer materials and engineering. With the adjustment of 1998 undergraduate enrollment catalogue of the Ministry of Education, the undergraduate enrollment of polymer chemical engineering was cancelled from 1999, and the undergraduate enrollment of polymer materials and engineering was unified (professional code 080204).
This major awarded 1983 a master's degree in polymer materials engineering. After more than 20 years of development, we have carried out in-depth basic research, applied basic research and research and development of new materials in the field of polymer materials science, and constantly expanded the research direction of the discipline. At present, it has formed a comprehensive research direction with its own characteristics and advantages, and has gradually developed into a discipline system focusing on engineering and paying equal attention to science and engineering, forming a discipline content with its own characteristics, and has a high research level in polymer chemistry, polymer physics, biopolymers and other research fields. In 2000, the material science and engineering discipline of this major was granted the right to award the first-class doctoral degree, and in 200 1 year, a postdoctoral research mobile station of the first-class discipline was established. In 2002, the material science was awarded as a key discipline in Jiangsu Province. In 2003, he was awarded a master's degree in polymer chemistry and physics.

In terms of scientific research, in recent years, he has successively undertaken the national "863" project "Preparation of polypropylene friendly hollow fiber microporous membrane by thermal phase separation"; National Natural Science Foundation Project "Separation Mechanism and Membrane Process Development of Polymer Nanofiltration Membrane Prepared by Pulsed Plasma"; Natural Science Foundation of Jiangsu Province projects "Esterification and biodegradability of biosynthetic polyglutamic acid", "Basic research on preparation of nano-polymer materials by microemulsion method", "Study on nanofiltration process of new membrane separation technology-percolation method", "High-performance engineering plastic/rubber * * * mixed elastic sealing material" and "Preparation of hydrophilic ethylene-acrylic acid * * * polymer microporous membrane by thermally induced phase separation method"; The high-tech project "Nano Transparent Coatings" in Jiangsu Province has played a positive role in the development of polymer materials and engineering.
Third, the teaching staff.
Since the establishment of 1958, the specialty of polymer chemical engineering has developed into the specialty of polymer materials and engineering. After years of accumulation, the specialty currently has 5 teachers 1 person, including 5 professors, 5 doctoral supervisors1person and 5 associate professors. Among the teachers, 4 have doctoral degrees and 9 have master's degrees (7 are studying for doctoral degrees); There are a group of outstanding young backbone teachers in Jiangsu province, forming an academic team with reasonable echelon structure, youth, strong cohesion and overall strength, which has made important contributions to the teaching, scientific research and personnel training of this major.
The current principals of this major are Professor Wang Tingwei and Professor Zhang Jun.
Fourth, personnel training.

Eight. Development planning and vision
The construction and development idea of this major is to pay equal attention to theoretical teaching and practical teaching. First of all, we should strengthen the construction of teachers and improve their professional level; At the same time, strengthen laboratory construction. In recent years, young teachers are required to constantly improve their academic qualifications and scientific research ability, and then focus on the construction and development of polymer synthesis, modification and new polymer functional materials according to the characteristics of the development of schools and colleges, so as to reflect and highlight the characteristics of this major. In the discipline construction, we will strive for the authorization of doctoral programs in polymer chemistry and physics in recent years. In addition, we will continue to intensify curriculum reform and strengthen the teaching of basic courses and professional basic courses, especially the cultivation of students' graduation thesis (design), professional experiments, internships and other practical links, so that students' basic knowledge level and comprehensive innovation ability will be greatly improved.
