ABSTRACT

The development of modern science, in particular chemistry, is characterized by marked differentiation and integration. Since these two aspects exist in a single process of cognition, the various branches of chemistry increase in number, branch off, and are closely interwoven. The application of ionizing radiation chemistry is becoming more and more extensive each year. Radiation makes it possible, on the one hand, to initiate or intensify various processes, mainly chain processes, and, on the other hand, to change the properties of irradiated compounds and materials. The amount of information in the field of radiation chemistry has increased drastically and continues to increase rapidly. The chemistry of polymers occupies a considerable place among the fields of modern radiation chemistry of water, solids, and gases, and the synthesis of inorganic and organic substances. The same may be said about the development of industrial applications of research.
