Ionizing Radiations and Polymers
The Lab has a well-known expertise in the characterization of irradiated materials by means of different physical-chemical techniques, and in the investigation of degradation mechanisms induced by radiation. Our chemical laboratory is fully equipped for the samples preparation and some techniques for the polymer characterization before and after irradiation (GPC, DSC, TGA, viscometer apparatus, water contact angle measurements, UV-vis spectrophotometer, FTIR spectrometer, NMR, Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy, SEM). Moreover, biodegradability tests at laboratory scale have been performed.

Education and Training in Nuclear Field
The Laboratory of Radiochemistry and Radiation Chemistry has been involved for several years in European projects dealing with Education and Training within the nuclear area.
Essential Radiochemistry for society: a MOOC and its several opportunities
Within the H2020 MEET-CINCH project, the laboratory with the support of the project Partners has developed in 2020 the MOOC “Essential Radiochemistry for society”, that is available on the POLIMI Open Knowledge platform (www.pok.polimi.it). The course, addressed to Bachelor students in scientific areas, describes the involvement of Nuclear and Radiochemistry in everyday life to bring understanding of the benefits it could introduce in modern society. You can find more detailed information about the course by scanning the QR code below.
Currently, within the A-CINCH project, the laboratory is in charge of the organization of a series of live webinars, held by experts and professionals from prestigious institutions worldwide, to discuss both the most interesting aspects of Nuclear- and Radio-Chemistry and cutting-edge scientific research. We have called them CINCH Talks because we would like they could be informal moments to know new professional figures, job opportunities, leading research groups in Nuclear and Radio Chemistry and to touch with hand what scientists involved are dealing with. You can find the registration of the previous webinars at the following Youtube link.
Furthermore, we are also working to bring innovative didactical approaches based on high quality e-learning materials within our teaching activities: in the academic course of Applied Radiochemistry A+B but also by organizing Passion in Action focusing on radiochemistry.
Virtual reality applied to radiochemistry
Soon, we will talk also about Virtual Reality labs and Interactive Screen Experiments applied to radiochemistry.
