On Tuesday December 4th at 5:15 pm Prof. Kay Saalwächter will give a talk about
“Polymeric materials: environmental perspectives “
Mainly due to mismanaged waste, remains of polymer materials have entered our ecosystem in large quantities and are unfortunately there to stay for centuries. While our awareness of the related problems increases, societal and political decisions have urgently to be made.
An introduction into the extent of the problem and the differences in tackling it encountered in Germany and the US, and a scientific account from the viewpoint of a polymer scientist shall be given. Active participation of the audience in terms of question and answer, and discussion is highly appreciated.
