Employment direction of rubber major: mainly for rubber, mold, automobile and other enterprises, engaged in rubber product production and operation, on-site management, equipment maintenance and management, quality inspection of raw materials and products, new product development, sales and technical services in post groups such as rubber preparation, rubber mixing, molding, vulcanization and testing.

This major trains high-quality technical and skilled talents with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique and aesthetics, good professional ethics and humanistic accomplishment, basic knowledge of raw materials, formula, processing, equipment and molds for rubber products production, ability of formula design, structure design, mold design and factory process design, and engaged in rubber engineering technology, management and testing.

Rubber major is one of the polymer majors offered by ordinary universities and secondary specialized schools in China. It belongs to polymer specialty, generally refers to rubber specialty, and is the general name of rubber specialty, which is generally offered by chemical engineering colleges.

China's rubber industry still has the disadvantage of insufficient technical innovation ability, and the lack of core competitiveness is mainly reflected in the development of new materials and technical equipment. At present, there are not many new materials and raw materials independently developed by China's rubber products industry; There are few high-tech materials with high technical content and high added value; The industrialization of various new synthetic rubber materials may be several years behind that of foreign countries, so there is still a shortage of talents in this field.
