The Institute of macromolecular compounds was organized in 1948 under the government decree with the aim of conducting basic and applied research inchemistry, physical chemistry, and physics of polymers. It has united prominent specialists in these fields with corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR S.N. Ushakov as a director.
The Institute has more than 20 laboratories and scientific groups and an analytical center. Some laboratories deal with the synthesis andchemical modification of polymers and biologically active compounds andinvestigate polymer formation mechanisms. Other laboratories and groups study the physics and physical chemistry of macromolecules. The structure of thermally stable and self-organizing polymer systems,physico-chemical properties, conformational statistics andchromatography of polymers are also being investigated.
