(The laboratory was separated in May 2018, which existed since 2007 as a part of Department of Heterocyclic polymers and IPNs, and as a part of the Department of Interpenetrating Polymer Networks and Systems before 2007). There are nine specialists in the Department, including 1 Corresponding member of the NAS of Ukraine, D.Sc, Prof., and 6 PhDs.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Field of scientific interests<\/strong><\/em> (<\/strong><\/em>Scientific areas<\/strong><\/em>)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Recent<\/strong><\/em> scientific<\/strong><\/em> results<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n High-performance binder and solvent-free technology for its production for carbon plastics with high thermal and physical-mechanical characteristics on the basis of industrial epoxy and cyanate ester resins, as well as polyhedral oligomer silesquioxanes for aircrafts have been developed within the framework of scientific and technical project \u201cDevelopment of nanotechnology of producing hybrid organic-inorganic composite nanomaterials of high thermal stability, adhesion strength and low dielectric loss for elements used in aerospace and electronics\u201d of State Target Scientific-Technical Program \u201cNanotechnologies and nanomaterials\u201d (2010-2014). The developed composite materials were successfully tested at ANTONOV COMPANY and Yuzhnoye State Design Office and the Acts of using the results of the above mentioned scientific work have been obtained.<\/p>\n A scientific base for complex chemical utilization of polymer wastes has been created. Scientific principles of creation of thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) based on polyolefins and rubbers wastes have been developed. Efficient waste-free technology for the synthesis of high-quality TPEs from polyolefins waste (high- and\/or low-density polyethylene and polypropylene) and tire rubber waste has been developed. The main advantage of the method is that the utilization of wastes is environmentally friendly, waste-free and cost-effective with the creation of new high-quality materials. The use of the principles of chemical compatibilization made it possible to regulate the structure and properties of TPEs based on post-consumer materials. The developed materials are practically not inferior to the properties of the best Western analogs, synthesized from primary raw materials, but are much cheaper and environmentally friendly. The new technology is patented and is preparing to be introduced for implementation in road construction. Relevant new materials and resource-saving technologies have been developed in the framework of four international projects funded by the European Community and the USA, namely INCO-Copernicus Project \u201cRecycling of crumb rubber and polyolefin wastes by producing thermoplastic elastomers\u201d, project STCU N3009 \u201cApplication of principle of IPNs, dynamic vulcanization and irradiation for compatibilization and reuse of polyethylene\/rubber wastes\u201d, project STCU N3569 \u201cMicro- and macro-reinforcement of asphalt concrete pavement with fibrous materials made in Ukraine and their waste\u201d, project STCU N4599 \u201cRadiation-chemical modification of concrete for durability improvement in constructions working in extremal conditions\u201d. New rubber products, road clothes modifiers based on recycled polymers, wastes of rubber and polyamide cord from used car tires, and concrete modifiers are patented.<\/p>\n In the framework of scientific-technical project \u00abDevelopment of effective methods for extending service life of bridges and building structures by chemical and radiation-chemical modification of concrete-2 (2013-2015)\u00bb of Target complex scientific-technical program of research of NASU \u201cProblems of resource and safety of operation of constructions, structures and machines\u201d (Resource) the technology of radiation-chemical modification of concrete was developed and optimized on the basis of domestic industrially available raw materials, and acts of using the results of research work were obtained.<\/p>\n Highly thermostable polymer subnanocomposites with nanofillers particles sized from 0.5-1.0 nm have been developed. New approaches of porous polycyanurates creation are developed, and film materials are obtained as membranes suitable for separation of gas mixtures. Work on the creation of new polymer systems based on reproducible plants materials has been started. The first results concerning the synthesis and investigation of structure and properties of highly thermostable polymers from domestic-grade bisphthalonitrile monomers and thermostable binders for aerospace application based on carbon and fiberglass plastics have been obtained. The positive results of testing our developed materials were obtained at ANTONOV COMPANY, and this enterprise is interested in the implementation of the developed materials in the production of aircraft.<\/p>\n Scientific principles of chemical and physical-chemical modification of thermostable polycyanurate networks have been developed. Hybrid polycyanurate networks containing chemically incorporated fragments of epoxy oligomers, polyethers, polyesters or diene rubbers, polycyanurate-polyurethane semi- or full IPNs, porous polycyanurates, carbon plastics and nanocomposites filled with montmorillonite, polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes, carbon nanotubes, etc. have been synthesized. Structure-properties relationships for new polymer systems were investigated by using modern methods. The prospect of industrial use of the developed polymeric materials as membranes, adhesives, compounds and matrices for composites for use in the electronic and aerospace industries has been substantiated. The scientific principles of regulation of microphase structure, phase separation and phase composition in thermoplastic IPNs, including on the basis of polymers of natural origin, depending on the type of functionalization of components and their subsequent physical or reactive compatibilization, have been developed.<\/p>\n Universal thermostable polymer compositions have been developed for use in the manufacture of adhesives, sealants, coatings, and membranes in the aerospace and electronic industries.<\/p>\n Researchers from the Laboratory participated in 17 International projects, had 34 personal scientific grants from international organizations, actively cooperates with leading scientists from Ukraine, the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Greece, Poland, Israel, Brazil, Mexico, India, Hungary, Uzbekistan, Georgia, Azerbaijan, etc., including the scientists from NASU\u2019s Institutes namely from V.P. Kukhar Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry and Petrochemistry, Institute of Nuclear Research, L.V. Pisarzhevskii Institute of Physical Chemistry, G.S. Pisarenko Institute for Problems of Strength, as well as with scientists from the National Aerospace University “Kharkiv Aviation Institute”.<\/p>\n Joint scientific papers with co-authors from 25 foreign Universities and research centers of 13 countries have been published.<\/p>\n <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Scientific and technical developments<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Top publications: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/nano12122040<\/a><\/p>\n <\/u><\/p>\n Participation in International projects<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n 2004-2005<\/strong> Projects of Cooperation No 16813,<\/p>\n 2006-2007<\/strong> Projects No 18969 and No 18973,<\/p>\n <\/strong>200<\/strong>8<\/strong>-200<\/strong>9 <\/strong>Project No 21294,<\/p>\n <\/strong>2014-2015<\/strong> Project No 26199<\/p>\n 2011-2013<\/strong> PICS No 5700.
