Abstract
In this paper we present a framework describing the developments in polymer reaction engineering (PRE), based on discussions held within the EFCE Working Party on PRE. In the past, PRE has been strongly based on engineering sciences. A changing focus, however, has induced a current integrated multidisciplinary approach that is strongly driven by sustainability. In the near future, we expect a change from ‘technology-based PRE’ towards ‘product-inspired PRE’.
