On January 17, 2018, Dr. Ignacio Gonzalez-Martinez second time presented the results of research carried out in the POLONEZ 2 project entitled „In- situ room temperature growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes” (grant No. 665778, European Union Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie).
POLONEZ is a funding programme addressed to incoming researchers who may apply for 12- or 24-month fellowships in host institutions in Poland.
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.
