Events
On 22 November 2018, the CMPW PAN was visited by the second grade students of Nicolaus Copernicus Secondary School of General Education in Cieszyn. At the beginning, Barbara Mendrek, PhD, presented the scientific activity of the institute. In the next part of the visit, the CMPW PAN employees showed a number of interesting chemical experiments to the students. Moreover, the students had the opportunity to get familiar with the transmission electron microscope used to characterise polymer and polymer and carbon materials obtained at the CMPW PAN.
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.
CMPW PAN was co-organize the Section S4 session devoted to Polymer and Biopolymer Chemistry at the 61st Scientific Convention of the Polish Chemical Society (PTCHEM). The Convention will take place on September 17-21, 2018 in Krakow in the new offices of the Faculty of Chemistry of the Jagiellonian University, situated in the 600th JU Restoration Anniversary Campus.
On September 14, 2018, Centre of Polymer and Carbon Materials Polish Academy of Sciences (CMPW PAN) attended the "14th Science Day", an outdoor event, at which 56 exhibitors, schools, universities, scientific institutes and cultural organizations presented their offers and accomplishments. This year's Science Day featured the opening of the Water Route in the Królowa Luiza Mine Drift. Tomasz Rożek, PhD, the host of the SONDA 2 popular science TV show was a special guest of the event. He delivered a lecture titled "Coal and water". The goal of the event was to promote the activity of scientific and research, educational, training institutions, companies, clubs and associations from Zabrze and the entire region.
The "Science - Business Forum: Nanotechnology in Medicine", co-financed by the European Union under the European Regional Development Fund Measure 1.3 IOB Professionalization under the Regional Operational Program for the Silesian Voivodeship for 2014-2020 took place in the Novotel Hotel in Katowice on September 13, 2018. The event was organized by Polymer and Carbon Material Center (CMPW PAN), the Silesian University in Katowice, the Non-ferrous Metal Institute and the NANONET Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Support Foundation, forming the Regional Specialized Nanotechnology and Nanomaterial Observatory consortium. The purpose of the forum was to initiate cooperation between scientific and research centers and the business world, with focus on nanotechnology and nanomaterials, as well as to promote knowledge on the potential of nanotechnology in Silesia. The presence of 120 people prove the need for a discussion between science and business.
The Forum was moderated by Prof. Andrzej Dworak, the director of the Polymer and Carbon Material Center (CMPW PAN). The forum focused on both scientific and business issues, elaborating on the practical aspects and the cooperation of these two environments.
Third edition of Business-to-Science Science-to-Business conference InterNanoPoland is an international forum for scientists, entrepreneurs, business support organizations and students working in a nanotechnology and advance materials sector.
INP2018 will present newest scientific and industrial achievements in the nanotechnology and will enable dialog between the world of science and business.
This year’s edition will focus on nanomaterials applicatory issues, materials functionalziation and use in medicine, achievements in ethical and legislative areas, newest research and development equipment, and the possibilities of co-joint R&D projects. Agenda will cover science-business sessions, topic on funding of research and projects as well as networking sessions.
Conference is organized by Nanonet Foundation and Silesian Nano Cluster with cooperation with the city of Katowice.

In short
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.
