Nora hatte beim Foto-Wettbewerb am Science Day mitgemacht und einen Tag am Max-Planck-Institut für Polymerforschung gewonnen. Die Schülerin fand den Blick hinter die Kulissen sehr spannend. Darunter das Hochdrucklabor: hier werden die Nanodiamanten hergestellt. Die #Glasbläserei war für sie das Highlight.

The journal "Angewandte Chemie" has published a special volume to mark the 40th anniversary of the Max-Planck-Institut für Polymerforschung. This collection of articles illustrates the broad chemistry based work followed at MPIP. Mischa Bonn Landfester Department Tanja Weil Read more: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/toc/10.100…

A group of pupils from Rabanus-Maurus-Gymnasium Mainz spent 3 days at MPIP during their project week. There were numerous workshops on recycling and bioplastics. At the end, the chemical reactions in baking were scrutinised. A look into the laboratories is always a highlight.

A delegation from Daejeon Science High School for the Gifted in South Korea visited Max-Planck-Institut für Polymerforschung. Svenja Morsbach, Christine Rosenauer and Ulrike Schneider guided them in the Polymer Path and Seunghyeon Kim presented our research. The delegation was thrilled to have been here.

We hosted the A*STAR delegates from Singapore in Max-Planck-Institut für Polymerforschung today. We had a mini-symposium on Soft matters & Biomaterials & discussion on PhD program of the MPGC. Lively interactions, with presentation also from our exchange students & collaborators & colleague from MPI-Bio!
