Practical Training at an Industrial Facility: Exploring Modern Polymer Processing Technologies

The faculty members of the Department of Chemistry and Technology of Organic Substances, Natural Compounds and Polymers – P.I. Urkimbayeva, A.K. Toktabayeva, Z.A. Kenessova, D.N. Makhayeva, D.B. Kaldybekov, L.E. Agibayeva and A.Zh. Alikulov – organized an off-campus practical training session at the DorplastInvest manufacturing facility for students enrolled in the educational programs "Pharmaceutical Production Technology", "Food Chemistry", and "Chemical Technology of Organic Substances" .

During the visit, students were introduced to the industrial processing of polymer materials and explored the technological processes of injection molding and extrusion. They also had the opportunity to observe industrial equipment in operation and learn about the main stages of polymer product manufacturing.

Such practical sessions enable students to connect theoretical knowledge with real industrial processes, broaden their professional horizons, and gain valuable insights into modern polymer processing technologies.

The event was organized in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):

 SDG 4. Quality Education – ensuring quality education and expanding practical learning opportunities aimed at developing students' professional competencies.

SDG 9. Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure – promoting sustainable industrial development, the adoption of modern technologies, and stronger collaboration between educational institutions and the industrial sector.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the team of DorplastInvest for their hospitality, support in organizing the practical session, and providing students with the opportunity to experience real industrial manufacturing processes!
