> '''~- Chemistry was one of the foundation disciplines in an Institute devoted initially to research in nuclear energy. Laboratories for analytical chemistry and for fluorination and preparation of uranium hexafluoride were established, and these two general areas are still actively pursued today. In the fifties the first flame atomic spectrometer and the first mass spectrometer in Yugoslavia were built on site, and the use of atomic absorption and emission spectroscopy for determining metals was introduced. Work in the fluorination laboratory concentrated first on the production of elemental fluorine and on management of the demanding experimental techniques for work with this aggressive element. Investigations connected with ceramic nuclear fuel based on uranium dioxide followed soon after. <

> From the beginning, much of the Institute's chemical research has had direct applications in view, and this is reflected in the number of contracts with Slovenian industry. It has resulted in the development of technologically demanding products such as varistors, microwave resonators, capacitors, PTC resistors, sensors, ferrites, rare earth permanent magnets, hybrid circuits, and mechanically resistant ceramics. Co-operation with industrial partners in Slovenia includes the production of mineral fibres for thermal isolation, and the manufacture of glass. Among other European industrial partners there is a cooperation with the MAN Roland Druckmaschinen company on the development of ferroelectric cylinders for a new form of printing. -~''' <
