The organization of the Institute for Polymers and Composites is based in 4 nuclei, next - Processing Studies; np - Design with plastics; NuComp - Polymer Composites and SBP - Structure and Behaviour of Polymeric Systems. These nuclei are groups of researchers with common specific activities, headed by a permanent, PhD-holding, member of the Institute, which have an independent scientific strategy, subordinated to that of IPC. In 2005 the Institute for Polymers and Composites coordinated an application, together with CENIMAT (from the New University of Lisbon) and the Unidade de Física de Semicondutores (from Aveiro University), to become one of the national Associated Laboratories, to be named I3N – Institute for Nanostructures, Nanomodelling and Nanofabrication. On November 16, 2006, the Portuguese Minister of Science, Technology and Higher Education officially approved I3N as an Associated Laboratories in the area of nanotechnology. Therefore, the activities of IPC research nuclei will move progressively towards nanomaterials and nanotechnology topics, with an anticipated emphasis on:
