Scientific Research Directions

G‘ulomjon Mukhame­dov’s scientific activity is focused on pressing issues in the field of chemistry, particularly in polymer chemistry, solving ecological problems, and protecting agriculture and the environment. His research has introduced several promising solutions considered innovative in Uzbek science.

Research on Urea-Formaldehyde Based Interpolymers

Mukhame­dov was the first to develop methods to slow down the three-dimensional polymerization process of urea-formaldehyde oligomers. This laid the foundation for creating formulations based on interpolymers.

Innovative Materials for Soil and Ecology: MT-1 and MT-2

The chemical formulations MT-1 and MT-2, developed by the scientist, have been successfully applied in various fields such as agriculture and ecology:

  • In cotton cultivation – to prevent soil crust formation;

  • In agriculture and irrigation – to save up to 30% of irrigation water;

  • In the Aral Sea region – to restore flora and fauna and stop wind erosion;

  • In the Chernobyl area – to prevent the spread of sand, dust, and radionuclides.

These scientific and practical developments were carried out in collaboration with Moscow State University and leading universities in Uzbekistan.

PKG-1 Polycomplex Composites for Pharmaceuticals

The PKG-1 polycomplex composites developed by Mukhame­dov enable enhanced drug delivery, prolonged action, and more effective absorption. This approach provides a scientifically grounded basis for pharmaceutical innovation.
