Department's history

In 1956, the facility of Marine Corrosion was started as a part of Department of Physical Chemistry. As a result of changes in the structure, which took place in 1968/69 a facility was renamed into Anticorrosion Protection within the Institute of Chemical Engineering and Measurement Techniques. The Department was placed in the Chemistry "A" building. The head of the facility was prof. Romuald Juchniewicz. In 1989-91, the Facility has funded a third floor of the Chemistry "C" building. Anticorrosion Protectionc Facility transferred to the newly established laboratories. The year 1991 is also a year of change in the structure of the Chemical Faculty. Institutes were dismantled and Departments were re-established. A Department of Anticorrosion Protection Technology was created. In 1996 prof. Kazimierz Darowicki became new Head of the Department. As a result of a constant development in new scientific areas in 2003 the name was changed again and it is now Department of Electrochemistry, Corrosion and Materials Engineering.
