As part of the European Program for Science and Innovation “Horizon 2020”, a number of employees of the Institute of Polymer Materials and Technologies were at the University of Helsinki from June 1 to July 6, 2023. At the Faculty of Chemistry, Prof. Kudaibergenov S.E. gave an hour-long lecture on the topic: “Polyampholytes: Past, Present, Perspectives,” which aroused keen interest of the audience. After finishing the lecture, Prof. Kudaibergenov S.E. donated his monograph “Polyampholytes: Past, Present, Perspectives”, published in 2021 in Kazakhstan, to the library of the Faculty of Chemistry of the University of Helsinki and doctoral student of the University of Reading (England) Man Fei Fu.
According to tradition, two respected professors of the University of Helsinki (Heikki Tenhu and Vladimir Aseev) were dressed in Kazakh national clothes – shapan.
The Kazakh delegation took part in the mini-seminar “NANOPOL”, dedicated to the synthesis and research of special-purpose polymers with the report “Temperature and salt responsive amphoteric nanogels with immobilized methyl orange and methylene blue and study of dye release kinetics as a function of temperature and ionic strength”. Scientists and specialists from England, Germany, Kazakhstan, Russia, Finland and France took part in the seminar.
