Relevance of Radiation Chemistry to Basic and Applied Sciences

2 RELEVANCE OF RADIATION CHEMISTRY TO BASIC AND APPLIED SCIENCES [Pg.3]

In industry, radiation is applied both as an initiator and as a control mechanism on one hand, and as a sustainer of reactions on the other. Among the many industrial uses of radiation, one may mention food preservation, curing of paints, manufacture of wood-plastic combinations, syntheses of ethyl bromide, of ion exchange materials, of various graft copolymers, and of materials for textile finishing. In addition, there are important uses of tracers in various process industries and in mining and metallurgy. [Pg.3]
