ABOUT DEPARTMENT
The Department of Technologies of Natural and Synthetic Polymers, Fats and Food Products was founded in 1955 (then it was called the Department of Plastics Technology). During the period of its existence, the Department has trained more than 5,500 specialists in full-time and part-time education; about 70 candidate and 7 doctoral dissertations were defended by its graduates; Representation at the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine – 2 corresponding members and 1 academician of the NAS of Ukraine.
The Department conducts educational, methodical, and scientific activities in the field of knowledge “Chemical and Bioengineering” in the specialty “Chemical Technologies and Engineering” in the educational program “Chemical technologies of synthetic and natural polymers, paints and composites” (bachelor, master, doctor of philosophy) areas of knowledge “Production and technology” in the specialty “Food technology” for 3 educational programs “Technology of fat and fat substitutes“, “Technologies of bread, confectionery, macaroni products and food concentrates“, “Technological examination and food safety” (bachelor, master).
The basis of the Department is the professional training of students and research work.
RESEARCH AREAS
Today the main direction of scientific activity is carrying out fundamental and applied work on the development of methods of synthesis of new ionic (including ionic liquids), organic and element-organic polymers; and also creation on their basis of glues, coverings, ion-exchange, and ion-conducting materials; binders and modifiers for polymeric composite and paint materials; heat-protective coatings for rocket and space technology; development of catalysts for esterification, transesterification, acidolysis of fatty raw materials; development of health food.
A new area of activity of the Department is the development of “Green Chemistry” technologies – synthesis of biofuels, solvents, modifiers of polymer compositions, lubricants, cleaners, and preservatives for weapons and military equipment derived from fatty raw materials of plant and animal origin.
The Department is the founder of the Research Laboratory of Paints and Printing Materials, where new paints and varnishes are developed and researched.
