The activities of the Department focus on with basic and applied research in the field of radiation chemistry and physics as well as on the development of radiation technologies on a laboratory scale and their adaptation to industrial scale.

The activities include:

  1. Development of new and improvement of the existing research methods, exploitation and development of research facilities.
  2. Exploitation of the irradiation facilities for production purposes (sterilization of disposable medical devices, biostatic grafts for transplantology, biomedical materials, modification of semiconductors and related products, cross-linking of polymers and copolymers, degradation of plastic materials, radiation hygienization).
  3. Development of methods of accelerator dosimetry and dosimetric control during experiments and radiation processing.
  4. Studies on the kinetics of mechanisms of early radiation processes in condensed systems.
  5. Examination of the structure and primary transformations of radiolysis products stabilized in frozen matrices and solids.
  6. Development and modification of radiation technology of heat-shrinkable products (tubes and tapes).
  7. Preparation and examination of polymer compositions for radiation processing and radiation modification of selected materials (e.g. modified polypropylene) in order to obtain materials with new properties.
  8. Development of radiation technologies for environmental protection.
  9. Radiation processing of materials and products on a pilot plant scale.
