Moscow, September 12 /Xinhua/ — Russia calls on Poland to think about the consequences of closing the border with Belarus and reconsider the decision as soon as possible. This is stated in a comment by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova, published on her Telegram channel on September 11.

According to the diplomat, the Polish authorities have decided to close all checkpoints on the border with the Republic of Belarus, including road and rail ones, from 00:00 on September 12. Poland's unilateral actions will cause serious damage to its international partners who use the Polish-Belarusian border for trade. "At the same time, both entrepreneurs from Poland's allied countries and national businesses will fall victim to the political ambitions of the current authorities in Warsaw," she said.

In addition, M. Zakharova believes that these restrictions by the Polish leadership undermine basic humanitarian principles, namely the freedom of movement of people. “Residents of the border regions of Poland and Belarus are deprived of the opportunity to maintain traditionally close family ties and human contacts,” she concluded.

On September 9, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced the closure of the border with Belarus on the night of September 11-12 in connection with the start of the Belarusian-Russian military exercises "West-2025". Later, the head of the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs Marcin Kerwiński signed a corresponding order. According to it, the measure concerns both directions – entry and exit – for both people and for freight road and rail transport. –0–

Natalia Grozova, an engineer at the Polymer Composite Materials laboratory of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU "Digital Engineering", a graduate of the master's program of the PIS "Mechanics of Polymer and Composite Materials", spoke at a pitch session during the XII International Forum of Technological Development "Technoprom-2025".

The event was attended by young engineers and researchers from various Russian universities. They presented their experience of studying, participating in projects and interacting with industrial partners.

Natalia Grozova noted the practical orientation of the training in her speech: As part of our master's program, we were not limited to fundamental disciplines, but studied in depth specialized areas of polymer and composite materials. Internships at enterprises such as UEC Saturn and cooperation with the Kabardino-Balkarian State University allowed us to immerse ourselves in the processes of synthesis and processing of materials. This approach made it possible not only to master the theory, but also to immediately apply knowledge in real projects.

The Polytechnic engineer spoke about the main areas of research at the Polymer Composite Materials laboratory, on which the master's program is based:

technologies of impregnation with thermoplastic polymers; technologies of welding composite materials from thermoplastic polymers; development of technology for automated laying out of thermoplastic tape; development of technology and equipment for recycling waste and end-of-life products from thermoplastic polymer composite materials (TPCM); development of optically transparent composite materials for use in solar batteries; development of auxiliary technologies and equipment; study of the processes of formation and evolution of the structure of TPCM (crystallization kinetics, radiation resistance, aging, etc.).

“Our laboratory develops a technology for impregnating tapes with thermoplastic polymers, which was implemented in the interests of the composite division of Rosatom – JSC Umatex,” said Natalia Grozova. – My direct participation in the project was related to assistance in developing a technology for impregnating thermoplastic polymers to obtain a filament continuously reinforced for 3D printing. This is one of the leading technologies that is currently being implemented in our country. In early 2023, a laboratory unit with four lines was developed and manufactured to obtain continuously reinforced filament on the superstructural and high-temperature polymer polyetheretherketone. It was a laboratory unit with a capacity of 500 meters per hour. In 2024, we developed a pilot industrial unit for 40 reels, which has a record productivity of 12,000 meters per hour.”

The topic of the final qualification work and master's thesis of the graduate of the SPbPU PISh "Digital Engineering" is "Development of optically transparent composite materials for the protection of solar elements of satellites". This work is carried out in cooperation with the company "Bureau 1440".

We have conducted a large cycle of research related to the study of methods for obtaining and ensuring resistance to radiation exposure of optically transparent polymer composite materials based on thermoplastic polyurethane and glass fillers of various shapes to create protective coatings for solar cells used in spacecraft, Natalia Grozova summarized.

Following the pitch session, participants confirmed that leading engineering schools are currently shaping a new generation of engineers who combine fundamental training with industry skills.

Rosneft has launched an improved solvent into production

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Rosneft – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Novokuibyshevsk Petrochemical Company (part of the Rosneft petrochemical complex) has launched production of a new asphalt-resin-paraffin deposit solvent. The product was developed by the company's technologists.

The solvent prevents and removes deposits from the walls of pipelines, tanks, compressor pipes, metal parts of pumping equipment. Asphalt, resin and paraffin deposits are a highly viscous mass of heavy oil components that settle on oilfield equipment and reduce the throughput of pipelines, the useful capacity of tanks, and can lead to a decrease in well flow rates. The main difficulty in combating such deposits is that their composition is unique at each field and it is not always possible to select a universal remedy to combat them.

The solvent of the Novokuibyshevsk Petrochemical Company is a composite mixture of aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons. After cleaning, it leaves a protective layer on surfaces that slows down the formation of new deposits. The effectiveness of the formulation has been confirmed by tests by scientists from the Middle Volga Research Institute of Oil Refining.

Today, the universal and effective solvent meets the needs of Rosneft enterprises and in the future can be used by other oil producing companies in the country.

Reference:

JSC Novokuibyshevsk Petrochemical Company, a subsidiary of Rosneft, is a major manufacturer of petrochemicals, gas processing and organic synthesis products. The list of manufactured commercial products includes more than 30 items.

A significant international meeting took place at SPbPU. At the initiative of the Committee for External Relations of St. Petersburg and the Consulate General of Hungary, a visit of representatives of the Consulate and Embassy of Hungary in Russia took place at the Polytechnic University, aimed at restoring academic and scientific cooperation.

The delegation included Deputy Consul General of Hungary in St. Petersburg Bela Báthory and Attaché for Education, Science and Technology of the Embassy of Hungary in Russia András Márfi. Despite the difficult international situation, the Hungarian representatives particularly emphasized that science and education should remain outside politics. András Márfi and Báthory noted that Hungary consistently seeks opportunities to develop interaction and preserve existing developments in academic cooperation tracks with Russian universities, within the framework of accessible formats of international cooperation.

The negotiations were attended by the Vice-Rector for International Affairs Dmitry Arsenyev and employees of international services supervising international cooperation and academic mobility from the Polytechnic University. The meeting was held in a constructive manner and was devoted to finding practical ways to intensify cooperation between the universities of the two countries.

The central topic of discussion was scholarship support programs for students from Russia and Hungary. The current positive dynamics were noted. SPbPU provided detailed information on opportunities for Hungarian students in Russia, including quotas of the Russian Government and a unique project of the Global Universities Association — the international Olympiad "Open Doors: Russian Scholarship". Winning this Olympiad gives the right to free education in the bachelor's, master's or postgraduate programs of any leading Russian university, including SPbPU, regardless of the allocated quotas.

The parties discussed the resumption of student and faculty exchange programs, as well as prospects for creating joint educational programs, in particular in engineering, economics and biomedicine. The Russian side emphasized its readiness to sign new inter-university agreements, which will be preliminarily agreed upon with the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia.

Dmitry Arsenyev recalled the long-standing and strong ties between SPbPU and its Hungarian colleagues, in particular with the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. An important step in developing the dialogue will be the upcoming meeting of the Russian-Hungarian intergovernmental commission in Moscow in December 2025, where a separate working group on higher education will operate. It is expected that representatives of the rectors' corps of both countries will take part in it.

The delegation's visit became a significant practical step in establishing direct contacts between the academic circles of Russia and Hungary. The parties agreed to intensify interaction in developing opportunities for scientific and educational cooperation.
