The laboratory was established in accordance with Appendix 5, paragraph 43 of the Resolution of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated 12.08.2020 No. 4805, and is part of the functional structure of the Institute of Polymer Chemistry and Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Department of Biologically Active Polymers.

Research in the laboratory is being conducted in the following areas: Graft copolymerization of acrylic monomers with industrially produced polyolefin polymers, including low-molecular polyethylene. Establishing a correlation between the nature of the grafted monomer, the degree of grafting and its efficiency. Studying new directions for controlling the structure of macromolecules of acrylic monomers in the process of radical polymerization. Determining the conditions for the formation of the three-dimensional structure of the polymer in the process of direct polymerization without the participation of crosslinking agents and determining the role of macromolecules in controlling the structure.

Scientific direction: Modern approaches to the structure and control of the structure of macromolecules in radical polymerization. Development of methods for the synthesis of complex-structured macromolecules: linear, grafted, branched and three-dimensional structural, block gradient copolymers.

The laboratory participates in the following projects: Fundamental project No. IL 4821091571 “New methods for obtaining hybrid polymer superabsorbents based on polysaccharides and polyacrylates” (2022-2024). Fundamental project No. FZ-4721055613 “Main aspects of the formation of nanofibers based on high-molecular systems: conditions, structure formation, properties” (2022-2027). Scientific developments: A method for obtaining superconcentrates based on polyethylene according to patent IAP 06296 was introduced at the Shurtan GKM. The product is manufactured under a license agreement Sip 3/2021. A method and technology for obtaining acrylic acid from acrylonitrile and a method for obtaining superabsorbents based on it have been developed. Conditions for obtaining highly water-soluble nonionic flocculants based on linear polyacrylamide synthesized using an aqueous solution of the monomer of JSC "Navoiyazot" as a raw material have been developed.
