Welcome to the Division of Polymers and Colloids of the Swiss Chemical Society
The Division builds on synergies between Chemistry and Material Sciences, providing a network between scientists and technologists in all areas where polymers and colloids are synthesized, manufactured, investigated, transformed or applied:
- Polymer chemistry & physics
- Functional polymers
- Formulation and product design
- Construction polymers, adhesives and coatings
- Colloids and soft condensed matter
- Nanoscience
- Surface science
- Polymers in life science
Our goals are
- to promote research and teaching of macromolecular science and colloids;
- to bring together those interested in macromolecular science and polymer technologies;
- to inform about the latest results and trends and provide a discussion forum;
- to promote the interaction between the different disciplines of macromolecular science as
well as between basic research and application and between academia and industry; - to establish and maintain contacts with Swiss and international societies and organizations
that are active in the field of polymer science and have similar goals.
Our activities include:
- The organization of an annual Spring Meeting about Polymer and Colloid Science;
- Organization of meetings and workshops about areas of current interest;
- Contribution to the yearly Fall Meeting of the SCS.
