The Group exists to encourage and enhance polymer chemistry in the UK by promoting meetings and fostering interactions. This web site contains a range of information and links which we hope you will find useful and informative. Polymer chemistry is diverse in science and in its application with uses ranging from adhesives and coatings, biomedical materials and devices through to electronics and structural materials. Macro Group UK is equally diverse, reflecting the broad base of our community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3b3ed8084b6f00015405ba/1565894861758-1VX9YII126C6IJKL3AQP/Aro%252BHa_0073.jpg Home - Take Action The Macro Group is closely affiliated with the Polymer Physics Group, which is a joint interest group of the Institute of Physics and the Royal Society of Chemistry. The two groups together encompass the UK’s leading polymer scientists in industry and academia. If you are not a member of Macro Group UK I urge you to join via one of our parent societies and to get involved in our activities. If you are a member thank you for your continued support and we welcome further active involvement. One area of focus for Macro Group is to encourage participation by Early Career Researchers in Industry and in the academy. We support this through annual Young Researcher Meetings. In particular, I encourage you to apply to present a Poster or an oral paper and perhaps you might be the winner of one of our annual Macro Group YRM awards. These meetings are engaging and exciting and a great opportunity to mix with our diverse community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6273cf0fead66608670245e1/0b6caa87-9e5d-4d49-a345-2060226c5dc2/raps-logo.jpg Home - Recent Appointees in Polymer Science (RAPS) The Macro Group is also committed to the development of new scientists working in industry and academia. This is currently achieved through the Recent Appointees in Polymer Science (RAPS) network which we fully support. https://www.macrogroup.org.uk/aboutmguk daily 0.75 2022-05-05 https://www.macrogroup.org.uk/joinmguk daily 0.75 2022-05-05 https://www.macrogroup.org.uk/history daily 0.75 2022-05-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6273cf0fead66608670245e1/1651781602756-8XB99JV26HN37Z0658WO/ch-bamford_red.jpg History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6273cf0fead66608670245e1/1651781616074-BU591GSH2MQMI4GYPJM2/rick-richards-grayscale_red.jpg History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6273cf0fead66608670245e1/1651781625947-LOETRX2ABE0BXM60KHP4/tony-johnson-1970s-red.jpg History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6273cf0fead66608670245e1/1651781636228-EETSH109TDTR4Q4U96YG/geoff-eastmond-red.jpg History https://www.macrogroup.org.uk/contact-us daily 0.75 2025-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6273cf0fead66608670245e1/1651779875171-B2O2Z1M95IE41FZZZMQA/unsplash-image-Hcfwew744z4.jpg Contact Us - Contact us Helen Willcock (Chair) H.Willcock2@lboro.ac.uk Remzi Becer (Secretary) Remzi.Becer@warwick.ac.uk Joe Wheeler (Treasurer) Joe.Wheeler@Infineum.com Samuel T.
