Dear website visitors,

In order to slow down the spread of the corona virus, we at the MPI for Polymer Research have decided that
Most of our employees are working at home | Research in our laboratories is reduced to a minimum | Seminars and visits by guests are suspended until further notice | No business trips | Meetings are replaced by video conferences wherever possible | Employees returning from abroad stay at home for 14 days. Stay healthy!
Prof. Hans-Jürgen Butt, Managing director of the MPI for Polymer Research
