Laboratory of Physico-chemical design and Synthesis of functional materials

The main areas of work are related to the creation of physico-chemical bases for the synthesis of new inorganic compounds, solid solutions and substances in a highly dispersed and nanoscale state, the study of their structure and properties, the study of the processes of establishing metastable states and phase equilibrium. Materials with high ionic conductivity, as well as sorbents and ceramic catalysts of a new generation are being developed.

The Group conducts research in the field of physico-chemical design and analysis of oxide systems, including nanoscale ones. The group is engaged in the synthesis of nanoscale REE orthophosphate powders and compositions based on them by the sol-gel method.

The group is studying the processes of synthesis of inorganic nanoparticles under hydrothermal conditions, studying their structure and properties. Hydrothermal synthesis of inorganic nanoparticles of various chemical composition, structure, properties and morphology in MeO2 (Me2O3)– SiO2 – H2O systems, where Me = Mg, Al, Ni, Co, Fe,Ti. Formation and growth of hydrosilicate nanosilicates with the structure of chrysotile and galloisite of various compositions under hydrothermal conditions, as the basis for the production of nanoparticles with certain morphological and dimensional parameters necessary for the development of reinforced composite materials with high physical and mechanical characteristics that are promising for use in a number of fields of technology, for example, microelectronics and membrane materials. Synthesis of quasi-one-dimensional hydroxyapatite nanoparticles. Formation of nanocomposite organo-inorganic resorbable materials for use in medicine.
