Research Institute of Physics and Chemistry. L.Ya. Karpova (NIFHI)

The specialization of the institute is the chemistry of surface phenomena, the theory of adsorption, the structure of matter, the theory of aerosols, the theory of electrode processes and the protection of metals from corrosion, chemical kinetics and catalysis, radiation chemistry and the chemistry of macromolecular compounds. In 1959, in connection with the rapid development of nuclear physics and chemistry, the Obninsk branch of the NIFHI was established to carry out work in the field of radiation chemistry and radiation-chemical, nuclear-physical technologies. He is engaged in the study of the interaction of nuclear, ionizing radiation with substances and materials, including the practical use of research results in the chemical and other industries, the development and implementation of radiochemical, radiation-chemical, nuclear-physical production technologies.
