Special Research Unit:

Center of Radiation Processing for Polymer Modification and Nanotechnology (CRPN)

The CRPN has accelerated the best development of scientific and technology in the field of radiation/electron beam processing for sustainable materials and post-industrial era in Thailand. The missions of the CRPN are i) to educate and upskill the students, scientists, and young researchers, ii) to develop science, technologies, innovations and products, iii) to establish industrial linkage and transfer the developed technologies to industries, in the national and international levels, and to leaving sustainable academic platform at Kasetsart University. The low- and high energy electron beam processing for polymers/bio-based materials modification and nanotechnology towards the targeted industrial applications (agriculture, food, environment, medical, cosmetics, healthcare) have been focused for Net-zero industries.

Research Interests:

  • Polymer modifications and functional polymers
  • Biochemicals, bio-based materials, and bioplastics
  • Electron beam processing and green chemistry
  • Nanostructured polymers (nanoparticles, nanogels, self-assembly nanoparticles, non-woven nanofibers)
  • Process design using electron beam processing for industrial application
  • Bio-printing inks, coatings, hydrogels/nanogels, bio-based super water absorbent, nano-fertilizers, nano-cosmetics, functional food packaging materials, bioplastics for packaging, nanofibers.
