Tim Hsu, Ph.D., is the founder and president of Polymics, Ltd., a developer and manufacturer of high-performance polymers and compounds. He received his Ph.D. degree in polymer science from Penn State.
Polymics is a vertically integrated supplier of high temperature and specialty polymer resin, compound as well as semi-finished goods for various industrial applications. Polymics focuses specifically on the development and manufacturing of novel high temperature Polyaryletherketone (PAEK) polymers and alloys to meet increasingly demanding high temperature and high pressure performance requirements in various critical industrial applications. In addition to the PAEK focuses, Polymics specializes in the manufacturing and development of other high temperature polymers such as Polyarylethersulfone (PAES), Polyimides (PI), and Polybenioic imidazole (PBI) as well.
In 2017, Polymics and Penn State signed a joint development agreement in the commercialization of i-petrogel technologies. Hsu has subsequently worked with Mike Chung, Professor Emeritus of Materials Science and Engineering at Penn State in the commercialization of functional polyolefin polymer platform including the use of reactive compounding which has significant impact in critical areas such as electronic and energy storage materials. He has published sixty articles in referred journals and has been issued ten patents.
