Discipline History

Fudan University is one of the first universities in China to establish a Macromolecular Science Education and Research Center (established in 1958), and is among the first institutions to award Master and Ph.D. degrees and offer postdoctoral positions in Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics. In April 1993, the department became an independent department, and the Research Institute of Macromolecular Science was established at Fudan University.

Faculty

The department currently hosts 80 faculty and staff members, among which there are 53 faculties (32 professors, 19 associate professors, 2 lecturers), 16 laboratory technicians, and 11 administration staffs.

Scientific Research

We lead state-of-the-art research in fields of polymer condensed matter physics, macromolecular self-assembly, natural and biomacromolecules, and energy polymer materials, etc., and have made a widespread impact globally.

Education

The department currently has 640 students and has developed a systematic cultivation plan for undergraduates, academic/professional master candidates and Ph.D./D.Eng. candidates.
