Participants of HEMS Conference - 2016 High Energy Materials: Demilitarization, Antiterrorism and Civil Application that held at TSU visited the production of nanoparticles. To date, scientists of TSU and Institute of Strength Physics and Materials Science SB RAS using electric explosion technology to produce nanodisperse powders from almost any metal.
- These particles have a size of 10–9 meters, - says Alexander Vorozhtsov, Professor at the Faculty of Physics and Engineering, Head of the High-Energy and Special Materials Research Laboratory. - We use them in solid fuel of rockets and metallurgy to create new light strengthened superalloys for the aerospace industry, shipbuilding, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering.
The nanoparticles developed by TSU scientists, allow setting necessary properties of the materials, change their physical and mechanical properties, for example, to make them lighter and stronger.
Opportunities of medical use of nanoparticles were demonstrated for the guests, among whom were representatives of Airbus Safran Launchers, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), FSPC Altai. Marat Lerner, Professor of ISPMS SB RAS presented the guests several developments, including wound healing band with nanoparticles that significantly reduces the treatment of burns, venous and diabetic ulcers, and other deep wounds festering.
- It was basic research conducted by Tomsk scientists, allow them to achieve a breakthrough in applied technologies, - said Elena Buylova, chairman of the technological platform Predictive Modeling, Operation of the Advanced Systems (Industry of the Future), who visited the production of nanoparticles.
The High-Energy and Special Materials Research Laboratory of the TSU StrAU Smart Materials and Technologies. The institute brings together Russian and international experts working on the creation of new materials and technologies for their production.
