The aim of the established Laboratory is to integrate the scientific communities and equipment base of institutes from Poland and Ukraine in the area of ​​research on new materials and polymer composites, starting from their synthesis, through the characterization of the structure and properties to the technologies of their use.

On April 30, 2018, the Polish-Ukrainian laboratory – “Formation and characterization of advanced polymers and polymer composites” was established. The laboratory is located at the Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry (IMC NASU) and the E.O. Paton Institute of Electric Welding (PWI NASU) of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Kyiv and at the Center of Polymer and Carbon Materials of the Polish Academy of Sciences (CMPW PAN) in Zabrze.
