Dr. Magdalena Gaca

Dr Magdalena Gaca obtained her master’s degree in chemical technology within polymer technology from Technical University of Lodz. In 1998, she joined the Institute of Polymer and Die Technology for her Ph.D. studies. She did scientific internships several times: in 2000, 2002  Universitet Claude Bernard Lyon1, France (dynamicmechanical thermal analysis and dielectrical properties of polymer materials), in 2004, 2005  Institut de Chimie des Surface et InterfaceCNRS, Moulhouse, France (interactions polymercarbon nanotubes/flow microcalorimetry), in 2022/2023 – Université de Haute–Alsace, IS2M, Mulhouse, France (fillerfiller and fillerpolymer interactions/surface properties of fillers). She received twice a French Government Fellowship for young scientists (2004, 2005) and she was also the recipient of a French Government Scholarship for a highlevel research stay (2022). She is currently on academic position as a tutor. Her research interest is focused on physicochemistry of fillers and elastomers, polymers processing, multifunctional polymer materials.
