Chemical engineers apply the principles of chemistry, mathematics and physics to solve problems involving the production of useful products from chemicals or raw materials. They work in a variety of fields other than chemical manufacturing. Other industries would include paper, food, electronics, energy, cosmetics and clothing. Chemical engineers develop:
- Petroleum products,
- Pharmaceuticals,
- Nanomaterials,
- Polymerization,
- Computer chips,
- Plastics,
- High performance materials,
- Manufacturing test methods,
- Methods of energy production,
- Recovery of useable materials from waste,
- Safe medicine production methods,
