清華大學化工系在高分子科學與工程方面的研究有優良的傳統和傑出的表現，系上教授與此領域之研究相關者超過三分之一，依傳統高分子學而言，領域包括高分子化學與合成、高分子物理與奈米結構調控、高分子工程與加工技術等。
不論是在高分子化學、高分子物理或是高分子工程等領域，「精準調控」均為重要之科技層次與技術能力，也是本系同仁提升研究水準之目標。例如高分子化學方面，建立分子層級的結構設計和合成能力，從而能依心所欲、依性質所求、依功能所期而獲得理想結構之高分子；在高分子物理上，解析分子、奈米、次微米等級的結構與性質/功能之關聯性，並能利用分子作用力操控各等級高分子結構的形成與變化；在高分子工程上，由高分子結構理解工程特性，並以計算、模擬、系統化之方式，於高分子工程各方面達到修正、預測、建立模型之目標，建立系統化解決各尺度之高分子工程技術平台。
此外，跨領域的合作研究也是清華大學化工系在高分子科學與工程方面的重要特色，從而與應用科學和先端科技發展緊密結合，例如有機光電/電子材料的設計和應用、能源與環境科技的關鍵材料和元件、應用於生醫工程與生醫技術的高分子材料、與精密加工與製造技術等，也恰與清華大學化工系在其他重點研究領域相結合，成為整合學理基礎與應用科技的完整學科。
Our department has a great tradition and outstanding performance on polymer science and engineering. More than one-third faulty members are in the related fields, including (i) polymer chemistry and synthesis, (ii) polymer physics and nanostructures, and (iii) polymer engineering and processing.
Precise and controllable, which is an important issue for the three fields mentioned above, is the core and target of the researches in our department. For polymer chemistry and synthesis, the main work is establishing the ability of molecular design and synthesis in the molecular levels so as to obtain the polymers based on the designed structures, the expected properties, and the giving functions. For polymer physics, the work focuses on the resolution and understanding the relationships between the structures in molecular, nanometer, and sub-micrometer scales and the properties and functions of the polymers, as well as the ability to design and control the formation of polymer structures in the above-mentioned scales. For polymer engineering, the work aims to understand the engineering characteristics of polymers and to build up the technical platforms providing systematic solutions to wide-range and various-dimensional polymer engineering problems.
Furthermore, we emphasize on multidisciplinary researches with linking the polymer science and engineering to various applied sciences, such as polymeric materials for organic optoelectronics and microelectronics, key materials and components for energy and environmental technologies, polymeric materials for biomedical and biological technologies, and polymer engineering systems for precision processing and machining. This feature unify the researches on polymer science and engineering and other topics in our department.
