The Laboratory was founded in 1977 to advance physicochemical studies of the properties of contacting phases, as well as of statics and kinetics of interphase processes occurring during interaction of inorganic and organic compounds. The organizer and the head of the Laboratory was Prof. Kononenko Vladimir Ivanovich. The basic research area is “The properties of condensed systems based on I-III group elements and rare-earth metals: interparticle interactions, large-scale effects and novel materials”.
In 2009, Dr. Shevchenko Vladimir Grigoryevich became the head of the Laboratory who continued the Laboratory’s basic research.
