IAEA Regional Training Course on Advanced Grafting of Polymeric Materials for Waste Water Treatment
Radiation can be used to modify materials and graft various polymers that can have advanced properties such as adsorbing various contaminants from water.
To maximize this technology, researchers from several countries in the Asia-Pacific Region trained in the Philippines on radiation grafting with experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) from July 22-26, 2019 in Quezon City.
Under IAEA Project RAS1023 on Developing and Upscaling of Radiation Grafted Materials for Water Treatment, the participating countries are developing advanced materials that can serve as adsorbents for waste water treatment.
