Prof. František Švec receives the Bronze Medal of MU
Prof. František Švec presented the lecture with the title Monolithic format of porous materials: A polymer chemist's view at the Department of Chemistry as part of the lectures of the ČSCH Brno on 30 November 2023. On this occasion, the MU bronze medal was officially presented to prof. František Švec by the director of Department of Chemistry Petr Táborský.
Professor František Švec is an important expert and pioneer in the field of separation sciences. In the 1990s, he developed monolithic stationary phases prepared from organic polymers, establishing a completely new direction in separation sciences. In more than thirty years, polymer monoliths have become an integral part of the stationary phase family and continue to find new and new applications in various stages of the analytical process, from sample preparation to the separation itself. The results of the scientific work of prof. František Švec prove that he is one of the most important chemists today and not just the analytical ones. He was awarded the 2023 Neuron Award for Lifetime Achievement in Science this year.
