Antioxidant-Conjugated Onto Gamma-Generated Chitosan Nanoparticle for Radiation Sterilized Medical Plastic

The Department of Applied Radiation and Isotopes, Faculty of Science, Kasetsart University, Bangkok, Thailand, mainly gives the course of study in the field of radiation and nuclear science and technology. The research actitivies relevant to the department are about nuclear instrument and analytical technique by nuclear methodology, radiation chemistry and processing technology, and radiation biology and agriculture. My work going on in the department is separated into two main responsibilities, i.e. (i) teaching courses and (ii) research activity. For (i), in the present time, there are 5 courses (i.e., radiation detection technique, radiation health protection, nuclear method of analysis, radioistope tracer techniques in biology and seminar) for bachelor degree and 4 courses (radiation chemistry and processing, radiation detection and dosimetry, nuclear facilities and utilization, research method in applied radiation and isotope) for master degree. In the case of (ii), my research interests head on the radiation chemistry and processing applicable to material and nanomaterial development for industrial applications, e.g. nanofilter and metal absorbent material; for medical applications, e.g. bio-additive for medical material, nanoparticle for drug delivery system, radiosensitizer for radiotherapy; for agricultural applications, e.g. pest controlled compound and plastic. The researches are also attended to biopolymer especially chitin-chiosan including functional polymer. The material for radiation dosimeter based on EPR is furthermore interesting to look for
