Problems and trends in the nanoindustry development in Russia

In the present paper some special features of the Russian nanoindustry are researched. The object of the research is the nanoindustry that is taken into account as a complex structure of the organisations in the Russian Federation, which develop knowledge-intensive production at the nano scale (1-100 nm) with high added value and unachievable earlier technical features and possibilities for different industries. The main theme of this paper is an observation of the set of factors, which have influence on the future of the nanoindustry in Russia. The main goal of the research is to analyze factors of the nanoindustry development in Russia by means of the methods of the formal logic, induction and deduction and by means of the analysis of the open statistical sources. The research is of immediate interest due to the quick development of the nanoproduct world market. It's quite new and includes a lot of actual scientific results. At the same time the Russian sector is still at the beginning stage of search of potentially valuable results of the knowledge-intensive productions. In the paper the modern state of Russian nanoindustry is presented and is held under investigation. It is compared to the nanoindustries in other countries. The SWOT analysis of the Russian nanoindustry development has been made. The advantages and weaknesses of the Russian nanoindustry are taken into account. The possibilities and threats to the Russian nanoindustry market are described. The conclusions of this research can be used in the long-term and short-term forecasts of the Russian nanoindustry development

Modern Technologies Providing a Full Cycle of Geo-Resources Development

Resource-dependent countries and economies are found to be particularly sensitive to global shocks. A unifying parallel is drawn between resource-dependent countries and regions with depleted mineral resources. The objective factors of losses of accessed reserves are analyzed. A unifying parallel is drawn between sub-standard ores and industrial waste. The paper proposes shifting geotechnology development from simple mineral extraction towards technologies that provide a full cycle of geo-resources development. A radical way of ensuring a full cycle of geo-resources development is the involvement of sub-standard ores and industrial waste in a closed processing cycle. The utilization of industrial waste without a valuable component extracting or reducing a harmful component to a background value is palliative. A comparative description of various technologies that allow extracting valuable components from sub-standard ores and industrial waste is made. The paper proposes a variant of chemical–physical technology that makes it possible to extract a valuable component from industrial waste to a minimum value. The activation of industrial waste with a disintegrator before a chemical extraction significantly increases the yield of a valuable component from 2.6 to 218.5%. A differentiated approach is needed regarding the choice of leaching solution, its percentage, as well as the leaching method and the need for activation processing of valuable components and industrial ones. The combined highly efficient physical–chemical and physical–technical technologies will ensure the maximum extraction of the valuable component from 52.6 to 98.8% in the full cycle of natural and industrial geo-resources development

Nonlinear optics of molecular nanostructures in solution: Assessment of the size and nonlinear optical properties

Most of the known self-assembly processes occur in solution, where nanosized objects interact each other forming new structures. Their real-time characterization in terms of the size and optical properties of these objects is vital for understanding those interactions. We report a novel application of nonlinear optics to study molecular structures and assemblies. By measuring the power of the third harmonic generated in a solution of nanoparticles, we determined both the size and the third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility of those nanoparticles. The newly developed technique was successfully employed to observe the structural organization of collagen (type I) molecules in solution
