WHAT WE DO
Radiation Shielding Materials
We develop novel and high-quality radiation shielding materials, including those for the protection of gamma rays, X-rays, neutrons, and other electromagnetic waves (radio and microwaves).
Radiation Processing on Materials
We utilize radiation technologies to enhance specific or preferred properties of materials. Some examples include gamma-vulcanized natural rubber composites, the synthesis of reduced graphene oxides (rGO), and the preparation of high-quality chitosan particles.
