Introduction

We took over the “baton” from our Slovak colleagues and organize the popular meeting of Slovak and Czech polymer chemists and physicists, "Polymers 2022"! For the 12th conference, we once again chose the pleasant location of Třešť Chateau, whose premises have recently undergone a general reconstruction. The benefit of our meeting is sharing knowledge from scientific work on our solved projects and the opportunity for informal personal meetings.

The Czech-Slovak conferences on polymers have always been characterized by variety and covered both basic and applied research, and were attended by academic staff and colleagues from the commercial sphere. On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to invite you to participate in the "Polymers 2022" conference. It is an excellent opportunity to share our knowledge and enrich ourselves with new knowledge for students, starting young researchers, and even older and more experienced ones.


For the organizing committee, RNDr. Petr Chytil, Ph.D., chairman of the conference


Organizing

The Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry, Czech Academy of Sciences together with the Polymer Institute, Slovak Academy of Sciences.
