Department of Macromolecular Chemistry 1963

Department of Macromolecular Chemistry at the chemical faculty of Kazakh State University named after SM Kirov was organized in 1963 and is the third of the department of similar profile in the universities of the country after Moscow and Leningrad.

Initiative and a great role in the organization of the department belongs to a correspondent member. NAS RK to Professor B.A. Beremzhanov (Dean of the Faculty of Chemistry 1954-1980), who invited for the post of the first head of the department Cand.Chem.Sci B.A. Zhubanov now academician of NAS RK, Honorary Director of the Institute of Chemical Sciences MES.

Since then, the creative life of BA Zhubanov was associated with the Department of Macromolecular Chemistry. Active participation in the creation of the Department received a well-known scientist in the field of polymers professor SR Rafikov. Great contribution to the formation of the department since its organization has made EM Shaikhutdinov (academician of NAS RK, rector of KazNTU. KISatpayev in 1978-2000., Now a professor at the department), who headed the department in 1971-1978. An important role in the subsequent development of the department played EE Ergozhin (now academician of NAS RK, Director of IPC MES RK) - Head of the Department in 1980-1989. From 1990 to 2005 the department was headed by Professor ZS Nurkeeva, a graduate of the Department of Macromolecular Chemistry, Moscow State University. MV Lomonosov. From 2005-2011 years. was in charge of Doctor of Chemical Sciences, Professor GA Mun.

Great contribution to the development of the department have made a BA Beremzhanov, BA Zhubanov, S.R. Rafik E.M. Shaikhutdinov, E.E. Ergozhin, Z.S. Nurkeeva, R.G. Karzhaubayeva, Sh.Kh. Nurgozhaeva, Sh.Sh. Shayakhmetov, O.Sh. Kurmanaliev, N.I. Chugunova, M.K. Kurmanaliev, R.E. Legkunets, G.A. Mun, R.A. Abdykalykova, B.R. Tausarova, V.V. Khutoryanskii and many others.

The newly merged department of chemistry and technology of organic matters, natural compounds and polymers was organized in 2010.

Since its foundation until the 2013-2014 academic year, the department was headed Prof., Corresponding Member of the Engineering Academy of Kazakhstan, Abilov Zharylkasyn Abduahitovich. During this period, the department of chemistry and technology of organic matters, natural compounds and polymers headed by Doctor of Chemistry, Professor Mun Grigoryi Alekseevich.

Staffing of department members of the department is 42 units, including 15 doctors of sciences (11 of them have the title of professor, 3 are full members of the National Academy of Sciences of Kazakhstan, one - Corresponding Member National Engineering Academy RK), 18 candidates of sciences, 3 doctors of philosophy.
