The goal of the Laboratory is to integrate scientists and equipment from Polish and Ukrainian Institutes on research activity concerning new advanced polymer materials and composites, their synthesis and preparation as well as characteristics of structure and properties.
The Center belongs to category A of scientific facilities in Poland. It was established on January 1, 2007 as a result of a merger of the Center of Polymer Chemistry of PAN in Zabrze and the Institute of Carbochemistry of PAN in Gliwice – two centers of the Polish Academy of Sciences which, for many years, had been conducting systematic work on the production and properties of macromolecular polymer and carbon materials.
