From March 16 to 20, Senior Research Fellow NTI Center for New Functional Materials (CNFM) of NSU Sergey Chupin and Denis Kozlov, Director of the NSU Center for Scientific Physics and Mathematics, visited Kaliningrad and the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University (IKBFU), where they conducted research and discussed the prospects for the industrial implementation of MWCNT-containing materials with Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University Rector Maxim Demin and Pavel Pogrebnyakov, Director of the innovative enterprise Ampertex.
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are a unique allotrope of carbon. Even small additions of this substance to a wide variety of materials can impart new, unique properties. NSU's Center for Scientific Physics and Mathematics is developing methods for introducing MWCNTs into materials and studying how this changes their properties.
"Our university's new campus plans to significantly expand research in polymer, composite, and functional nanomaterials, as well as in chemical power sources using MWCNTs. Therefore, our collaboration with NSU is important to us," said Maxim Demin during a tour of the IKBFU campus under construction.
Pavel Pogrebnyakov noted that his company, Ampertex, which produces unique products based on polymer conductive threads with carbon nano-additives, is interested in the prospects of using MWCNTs as such nano-additives.
"Following the visit, we plan to sign a consortium agreement between NSU and the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University in the field of 'Modeling Technologies and Development of New Functional Materials with Predetermined Properties,' as well as conduct research and development work jointly with Ampertex," commented Denis Kozlov.
