- By Railway(Online-Timetable) to „Karlsruhe Hauptbahnhof“ (Main Railway Station)
- From the Station to the University : By tramway (No 2, Direction "Wolffahrtsweier"; No 3, Direction "Rintheim"; No S4, Direction "Öhringen") to the tram stop „Kronenplatz“. Then walk along the Street to the main entrance of the university, cross the entrance place (Ehrenhof), then turn right. At the left side, in the building 11.23 , Engesserstr. 18 , you find the secretariate of the Polymer Chemistry (third floor).
The Institute of Technical Chemistry and Polymer Chemistry consists of four departments, two of which conduct research in the field of chemical technnolgy and two in polymer chemistry. In addition, three other research groups are affiliated with the institute. The institute is managed collegially by Professors Deutschmann, Grunwaldt, Théato and Wilhelm.
In the area of chemical engineering, research focuses on the optimization of catalytic processes, sustainability in chemical processes, and the characterization of catalysts.
In polymer chemistry, the focus is on the development of new synthesis methods as well as new polymeric materials using modern polymerization methods such as anionic synthesis and various controlled radical methods (ATRP, RAFT, NMP) and the characterization of poylmers or the further development of existing characterization methods Characterization.
For further information please visit the page "Departments/Research ITCP", where all working groups of the institute are briefly introduced and the homepages of the individual groups are linked, or for download in the Institute brochure (English only).

By car
- From motorway A5 (right side of the river Rhein):
drive "Durlach , direction Stadtmitte": straight on until a big crossover (Durlacher Tor). From there turn right and follow the signs to "Universität" . At the main entrance you can recieve an parking and entrance authorization for one day. - From motoway A65 or B9 (left side of the river Rhein):
Cross the River and stay on the road until the drive "Stadion". Leave the freeway and follow the signs "Stadion" or "Universität". At the main entrance you can recieve an parking and entrance
The history of the "Institute for Chemical technology and Polymer Chemistry" starts in the year 1872, when the "Chemische -Technische Institut was founded. In 1921, it was renamed to "Institute for Chemical Technology". Later, an additional chair for macromolecular chemistry at the institute was created in 1965. In 1967, a new institute (Polymer-Institut) was founded.
In 2002, the institute changed the location. The old building located at the Ehrenhof (B. 11.30, see pic at the right) needs to be restorated. The institute is now located in a new building (B. 11.21, see pic at the left) and another building (B. 11.23) at the main campus of the university.
In January 2004, the Institute of chemical technology and polymer chemistry was founded by the fusion of the technical chemistry and the polymer chemistry. The new institute comes with four professorships, two of them located in each division.
Details of the history of the institute can be found in the "History board" below. Here the history of the institute (upper half) is connected to the history of whole the chemistry (lower half) in Karlsruhe. Here you can view a PDF of this board, the original board is placed in the first florr in building 11.21.
