Online University Guide macromolecular chemistry

macromolecular chemistry has been firmly established in the German research landscape since the pioneering work of Hermann Staudinger and has developed into a key field of innovation over more than a century. Numerous scientific breakthroughs and technological developments can be traced back to the work of outstanding polymer chemists in Germany and continue to shape both basic research and industrial applications.

This Online university guide aims to make this diversity visible and accessible. It offers a structured overview of the current research landscape of macromolecular chemistry in Germany and enables targeted orientation within the field. The focus is on research groups that address polymer science issues – from synthesis and characterization to functional applications.

macromolecular chemistry is widely established throughout Germany: research activities take place at numerous universities and non-university institutions, distributed across the entire country. This university guide reflects this decentralized structure and connects information from more than 40 locations.

As the Division of Macromolecular Chemistry of the GDCh, we understand this digital university guide as a dynamic tool: It should not only inform, but also promote exchange, facilitate cooperation and, in particular, offer students and young scientists a sound orientation in the field.
