On 26 September 2018, the employees of the Center participated in Skarbnikowe Gody organized on account of the 94rd anniversary of conferring civic rights upon Zabrze. In the Fallen Heroes Park, there was held a family picnic, during which the Center employees conducted interesting and effective chemical experiments with the participation of the picnic attendees.
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.
