Wto and Dynamics of Macroeconomic Indicators: Experience of China, Eastern Europe and Сis. Lessons for Russia

The article is based on the results of studies of the effect of the WTO accession on macroeconomic performance in such countries as China, Eastern Europe: the Czech Republic, Romania, Hungary, the Slovak Republic, Bulgaria, Poland, states of former Soviet republics: Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova. The analysis of indicators such as gross domestic product (GDP), exports and imports, gross national income (GNI), foreign direct investments. There are groups of countries with positive and negative impact by the WTO, as well as countries which data are not affected by the WTO accession. An attempt to predict the impact of the WTO accession on macroeconomic indicators of Russia is made

Particulate Fillers in Thermoplastics

The characteristics of particulate filled thermoplastics are determined by four factors: component properties, composition, structure and interfacial interactions. The most important filler characteristics are particle size, size distribution, specific surface area and particle shape, while the main matrix property is stiffness. Segregation, aggregation and the orientation of anisotropic particles determine structure. Interfacial interactions lead to the formation of a stiff interphase considerably influencing properties. Interactions are changed by surface modification, which must be always system specific and selected according to its goal. Under the effect of external load inhomogeneous stress distribution develops around heterogeneities, which initiate local micromechanical deformation processes determining the macroscopic properties of the composites
