Activities of the Institute are carried out in six specialized research departments: Department of ChemistryDepartment of ElectrochemistryDepartment of Microelectronic Technologies, Department of Catalysis and Chemical EngineeringDepartment of Materials and Metallurgy, and Department of Ecology and Technoeconomics.

Activities of the Department of Chemistry cover scientific and applied research in organic chemistry, biochemistry and biotechnology, biomacromolecules, chemistry of synthetic polymers, environmental chemistry, and theoretical and computational chemistry.

Department of Electrochemistry deals with fundamental scientific research in the fields of electrochemistry and electrochemical engineering:  kinetics of electrode processes, electrochemistry of halogens and their compounds, electroorganic reactions, electrochemistry of double-layer, adsorption of organic compounds, corrosion and corrosion protection, mass transfer in electrochemical systems, electrode materials, metal deposition, electroanalytical chemistry and electrochemical sensors, electrometallurgy, etc.

Department of Microelectronic Technologies deals with multidisciplinary research in the fields of sensors, microelectro­mechanical systems (MEMS), nanoscience and nanotechnology, photonics and plasmonics, as well as semiconductor science and technology. Researches start from the fundamental concepts and theoretical research and ends up with constructed devices or systems.

Department of Catalysis and Chemical Engineering is a unique national research institution in the field of catalysis and chemical engineering. Department covers the entire spectrum of activities in the field of catalysis, catalytic processes and chemical engineering, from basic research and development of new technologies, to their application in the industry.

Department of Materials and Metallurgy doing research in the field of metallurgy of powder and sintered composite materials. The department offers services in the scientific research in the field of powder metallurgy, development of technological processes for the production and application of powder, composite and other special materials, as well as high-quality components for special purpose materials.

Department of Ecology and Technoeconomics is a scientific, research and consulting unit of ICTM, specialized in the areas of engineering and market management in process industries, designing and engineering of process technologies, and laboratory research and testing.
