Research on Materials for Purification
The research and development are done to introduce a new function to the trunk polymer by using the radiation-induced graft polymerization technique. The resulting adsorbent is useful for the removal of harmful metals from industrial effluent and recovery of rare metals in seawater. Furthermore, heat stability and process ability of biodegradable polymer is investigated to apply in packaging material and agriculture fields.
Research on Environmently Acceptable Polymers
Purpose of Reserch:
1. To elucidate effect of molecular structure and irradiation conditions on crosslinking of polysaccharides derivatives at paste-like conditions.
2. Analysis of properties of radiation crosslinked polysaccharides
3. To control biodegradability of aliphatic polyester by radiation crosslinking.
