History of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering: Croatian Chemistry in the 20th Century. II. From the Collapse of Independent State of Croatia on May 8th, 1945 to the Establishment of the Republic of Croatia on June 25th, 1991.

Prikazan je dio razvoja hrvatske kemije od kraja II. svjetskoga rata i propasti Nezavisne Države Hrvatske do uspostave Republike Hrvatske. Ukratko je opisano utemeljenje i razvoj Kemijskoga odsjeka Prirodoslovno-matematičkoga fakulteta u Zagrebu i Instituta Ruđera Bošković te organizacijsko nastavno unapređenje kemijsko-tehnološkoga studija. Razmatrana je organizacijska shema i nastava kemije te kemijska istraživanja na Prehrambeno-biotehnološkome, Farmaceutsko- -biokemijskome, Medicinskome, Veterinarskome, Agronomskome i Šumarskome fakultetu Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. Članak predstavlja nastavak našega ranijega članka Hrvatska kemija u XX. stoljeću. I. Razdoblje od početka stoljeća do 8. svibnja 1945. (Kem. Ind. 56 (2007) 403-416).The development of Croatian chemistry from the end of the Second World War to the establishment of the Republic of Croatia is outlined. Briefly discussed is the founding and development of the Chemistry Department of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, and the Rugjer Bošković Institute. Also presented is the postwar structure and organization of the chemical- technological study at the Technical Faculty and later at the Faculty of Technology. The chemical lectures and research in chemistry at the Faculty of Nutrition and Biotechnology, Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Faculty of Agronomy and Faculty of Forestry are reviewed. This article follows logically our first article in this series entitled Croatian Chemistry in the 20th Century. I. From the Turn of the Century to May 8,th 1945 (Kem. Ind. 56 (2007) 403–416)
