The main scientific purposes
of the IMC concern the developments of the chemical procedures
for the syntheses, purifications and analyses of products and
processes. In these contexts the characteristics methodologies
of the IMC are deeply studied and adapted to the solution of
problems concerning the most important application fields.
A very strategic concentration of specific instruments has been
realized in the IMC aggregation and their diverse employment
together with the multi-competences deriving from the different
support of every scientific unit have allowed to reach interesting
results in the following application fields. Moreover these
researches
are carried out in collaboration with academic, private and
public research centers at national and international level.
