The Materials innovation institute (M2i) does research into high-tech materials (but not polymer based).

Some are polymer based, acrylic and epoxy.

Modern tablet coatings are polymer and polysaccharide based, with plasticizers and pigments included.

Flexography is a relief system in which a raised image is created on a typically polymer based plate.

The synthetic polymer based grafts on the other hand often have insufficient haemocompatibility and thus rapidly occlude - a problem that is especially prone in small calibre grafts.

Geocell is the generic name for the polymer based cellular confinement system discussed in Cellular Confinement Cellular confinement.

Although less efficient, thin-film cells and organic polymer based cells can be produced quickly and cheaply.

The polymer based fixation agents are often called detackifiers as they reduce the tackiness of the pitch and stickies.

In June 2010, The Central Bank of the Dominican Republic announced the introduction of a new polymer based 20 pesos bill.

These polymers, based on methacrylate chemistry, have high molecular weights and therefore form very stable coatings owing to their multipoint attachment.
