自由基化学在改进塑料、油漆和相关材料的制造中，在帮助限制可能导致不利人体健康的氧化过程以及对重要工业材料的降解方面，发挥着越来越重要的作用。这项研究将通过开发减少衰老影响的新方法，以及治疗中风等几种危及生命的疾病，有助于促进和保持良好的健康。工业应用包括用于保存金属的更好的表面涂层，以及用于提高啤酒和葡萄酒质量和保质期的添加剂。

Free radical chemistry is of increasing importance in the manufacture of improved plastics, paints and related materials, in helping restrict oxidative processes that can lead to adverse human health and also to the degradation of important industrial materials. The research will contribute to promoting & maintaining good health by developing new methods for reducing the impacts of ageing as well as in the treatment of several life-threatening conditions such as stroke. Industrial applications include better surface coatings for preserving metals, and additives to improve the quality and shelf life of beer and wines.
