REVIEW OF NANOTECHNOLOGICAL INVENTIONS

MAIN PART

Heat-insulating material based on air gel with the possibility of introducing nanomaterials into the final product (RU 2731479 C1)

The invention relates to technologies with the use of air gel and can be used to obtain heat-insulating materials for wide application [1]. The required technical result, which consists in improving the thermal insulation properties of the material in a wide temperature range, increasing the absorbing properties of electromagnetic radiation in the IR spectrum, increasing the mechanical strength and flexibility, as well as reducing crumbling, is achieved in an air gel-based material containing a fibrous substrate with a density of 0.001–0.1 g/cm3, consisting of silica and / or glass and / or basalt fibers with a diameter of 0.1–5 microns, which is impregnated with an air gel obtained on the basis of silicon dioxide from alkoxysilane with the introduction of a gelling agent and followed by supercritical drying.

The use of a fibrous substrate with a density of 0.001– 0.1 g/cm3, which consists of silica and or glass and/or basalt fibers of a given diameter of 0.1–5 microns and is characterized by a narrow distribution of fibers along the diameter. The fibrous substrate has a thermal conductivity of 0.020–0.025 W/(mK). The use of the specified fibrous substrate makes it possible to obtain a material based on an air gel with an extremely low thermal conductivity coefficient of 0.014–0.016 W/(mK). The use of fibers with a diameter of 0.1–5 microns with a narrow distribution along the diameter allows, on the one hand, to reduce its effect on the thermal conductivity of the final material, and on the other hand, to increase the efficiency of the reinforcing effect, and significantly reduce the crumbling of the air gel.

Possible introduction of nanomaterials into the final product: carbon nitrided nanoflakes, carbon nanofibers, carbon nanotubes, multilayer carbon nanotubes. These nanomaterials have the following properties: specific surface area 300–600 m2/g, bulk density 0.05–0.25 g/cm3, characteristic size 10–100 nm. Their introduction into the composition is carried out at the stage of obtaining a gel; various surfactants can be used to disperse nanomaterials.

The use of these materials gives the final material the following advantages:

– the absorption of electromagnetic radiation in the infrared range increases, due to which the thermal conductivity of the final material at high temperatures decreases;

– the introduction of nanomaterials of a given size makes it possible to correct the distribution of airgel pores in size, due to which the thermal conductivity of the airgel is advantageously reduced to values of 0.012– 0.014 W/(m•K);

– the use of nano materials gives an additional reinforcing effect, which increases the mechanical strength of the final material and significantly reduces the crumbling of the airgel.

The final material can be provided with an additional layer of fibrous substrate to increase its vibration resistance. This is especially true when using the proposed material for civil and industrial construction in seis-mically active zones, as well as in aircraft and rocket construction.

A method of manufacturing shaped products with a base of foamed polymers (RU 2731930 C1)

A method of manufacturing a profile product used as a load-bearing and self-supporting structure for door and window frames, transoms, and other structures requiring a combination of sufficient strength properties and low heat capacity is proposed [2]. A profile product is made by molding in a mold layer by layer, using a denser foamable or non-foamable layer as the shell of the product and a foamable base from at least one layer or with a combination of layers with different densities, which provides the required combination of strength and low heat capacity. Expandable polymer, composite materials, or non-foamable polymer and composite materials in combination with forming additives – microspheres are used as the base material. The strength characteristics of the product are ensured by the presence of modifying components introduced into the polymer media – nanoadditives, carbon microadditives, aluminosilicate microadditives, providing enhanced bonds with conglomerates of polymer macromolecules, as well as processing of polymer components by a high-frequency electromagnetic field immediately before their introduction into the mold.

The processing of components by a microwave field increases the bond energy of the monomers of the polymer composition during polymerization, both among themselves, and contributes to a significantly better distribution of micro- and nano-additives in the volume of the medium, which significantly increases the strength of the product, the density distribution in the mass, and significantly accelerates the polymerization process, providing the efficiency of the process and its industrial application. As a protective layer, it is permissible to use a non-foaming polymer composition applied by spraying onto the inner surface of the mold, any materials and decoration elements built into the mold before the start of pouring polymer media that form the base of the product, or additionally applied to the surface of the product. The product, obtained from polymers in this way, complies

Method for the synthesis of graphene-like layers in porous silicon structures (RU 2731278 C2)

The objective of the invention is to expand the scope of porous silicon structures with graphene-like layers located on the pore walls, by creating graphene-like layers on the outer and inner surfaces of both through and closed pores throughout the depth in a porous structure with an increased thickness of porous layers [3].

The problem is solved by the fact that in the known method for the synthesis of graphene-like layers in porous silicon structures, including the CVD process in ethanol vapor in an inert gas in a pressure drop mode in a quartz reactor, it is new that the temperature in the reactor is 800–1100оC, and To implement the differential pressure mode, the pressure is first raised from the operating value of 1•103 Pa to 5•104 Pa within a minute, then the pressure is released to the specified operating value within 5 seconds and the specified pressure drop mode is repeated after 9–11 minutes until graphene-like layers are obtained on the pore walls to a given depth.

If 11 minutes are exceeded, unwanted clogging of pore channels appears. At times less than 9 minutes, a discontinuity of the coating of the inner surface of the pore walls is observed. The most optimal process conditions are the temperature in the quartz reactor of 950оC and the repetition of the pressure drop mode after 10 minutes. The technical effect of the invention is the creation of graphene-like layers on the outer and inner surfaces of the pores, including closed , over the entire predetermined depth of the porous structure, reaching 148 microns in the prototypes.

The invention relates to the field of materials science and can be used to create molecular separation membranes, membranes for biological and medical applications, sensor and electronic devices, and also as electrodes for micro-fuel cells and other current sources.

Symmetrical four-pair cable with film-nanotube insulation of cores (RU 2731624 C1)

The invention relates to the field of electrical engineering and can be used in the construction of symmetrical communication cables for public networks and structured cable systems [4]. In a four-pair cable containing conductors in film-polymer insulation, twisted in pairs with different twisting steps into a common layer, with an outer polymer sheath, insulation of each core. The outer polymer shell of each core is made in the form of nanotubes of the same size over the entire cross section of each core, and some of the nanotubes are perforated. The outer film is in contact with the nanotube insulation of each core over the entire cross section; each core along the entire length of a balanced cable. The invention provides the creation of such a structure of a symmetri-

REVIEW OF NANOTECHNOLOGICAL INVENTIONS cal four-pair cable, which allows to reduce the relative dielectric constant of the insulation of the cable cores, to reduce the capacitance of pairs and, consequently, the dielectric losses and the capacitive component of the influence between pairs.

Fig. 2 shows the structure of a symmetrical four-pair cable with film-nanotube insulation of cores. The cable contains: symmetric pairs – 1, cores – 2, nanotube core insulation – 3, outer core insulation film – 4, in contact with nanotubular insulation, outer polymer cable sheath – 5. Thanks to the declared design, the relative dielectric constant of core insulation is significantly reduced due to nanotubes, inside which the relative dielectric constant is 1.0 (the relative dielectric constant of the air is 1). Depending on the number of nanotubes and perforated nanotubes, the relative dielectric constant can be changed over a fairly wide range, decreasing the insulation thickness and decreasing dielectric losses. The dielectric constant of the dielectric material is 2.3, taking into account the film-nanotube insulation when filling through holes of the nanotubes and contacting the veins in the volume of 100% of the entire volume of the conductor insulation, it is possible to obtain the relative dielectric constant of the entire conductor insulation equal to 1.9. As a result, the attenuation coefficient decreases due to a decrease in losses in the insulation of the conductors, the wave resistance and the capacitive component of the influence between the pairs, and due to the decrease in the thickness of the insulation and, therefore, the distance between the conductors in the pair, the inductance of the circuit also decreases.

In connection with the constant development of the light industry, in particular, textile, food, paint production, as well as the emergence of new requirements for water quality, the problem of pollution of the water basin with organic dyes is acute. The proposed group of inventions relates to the field of chemistry, concerns the method of alloying powdered titanium dioxide nanoparticles of noble metals to create a highly efficient photocatalyst intended for photocatalytic reactions of oxidation of organic compounds under mild conditions, including azo dyes, phenol and its derivatives, which makes it possible to use photocatalysis reactions to purify water and air from trace organic pollutants by means of light irradiation (both ultraviolet and solar), and the creation of conditions for a safe and comfortable human habitation [5].

The technical result from the use of the proposed group of inventions is to simplify, reduce energy consumption when alloying the surface of titanium dioxide with nanoparticles of noble metals, increase the efficiency and uniformity of distribution of nanoparticles of noble metals on the surface of titanium dioxide.

The task is achieved by the fact that the method of doping titanium dioxide of anatase allotropic modification with noble metal nanoparticles includes preparing an aqueous solution of the salt form of chitosan, into which a precursor dopant of gold or silver nanoparticles is introduced, after which the system is intensively stirred and exposed to UV exposure to form noble metal nanoparticles at a temperature of 20–70оC, the formation of metal nanoparticles is monitored spectrophoto-metrically, and after reaching the maximum intensity of the plasmon resonance band of the nanoparticles, titanium dioxide of the anatase allotropic modification is introduced into the system with constant stirring, then an enzyme is introduced into the dispersion, the enzymatic decomposition of chitosan macromolecules is carried out at a temperature 35–40оC until complete degradation of chitosan; before the introduction of the enzyme into the system, an additional ultrasonic treatment of the dispersion is carried out with a frequency of up to 35 kHz; papain or pancreatin or amylase or glucoamylase or chitosan is used as an enzyme; the concentration of chitosan in the solution is 0.1–3% by weight, the concentration of titanium dioxide in the chitosan solution is 0.01–20% by weight of dry chitosan, precursors of noble metal nanoparticles – from 0.01 to 5% by weight of dry chitosan; after all the modified titanium dioxide has precipitated, the system is subjected to thermal treatment at a temperature of 70–100оC.

Method of manufacturing bulk micro-sized structures from nanoparticles (RU 2730008 C1)

The invention relates to an additive 3D technology for the production of predominantly volumetric micro-sized structures from nanoparticles, which are used in electronics, photonics and other fields. The method of manufacturing bulk micro-sized structures from nanoparticles includes (Fig. 3) sintering nanoparticles on a substrate 5, obtaining an aerosol stream with nanoparticles in a transport gas flow in block 1, heating by a laser-optical device 6 in a block 8 for optimizing an aerosol with nanoparticles in a transport gas stream with ensuring the production of spherical nanoparticles, transporting the resulting flow through the outlet 10 of the unit 8 for optimizing the aerosol with nanoparticles to the head 3 with the nozzle 4 to focus it on the substrate 5, supplying the specified nozzle with a stream of aerosol with nanoparticles and at the same time a protective gas to ensure that the aerosol flow of nanoparticles is focused on the substrate and deposited nanoparticles from a focused aerosol flow onto the substrate [6]. The deposition and sintering of nanoparticles on the substrate are carried out in a protective gas atmosphere 13, which is created under the nozzle. The invention improves the flexibility and efficiency of the process control, to simplify the device in the implementation of the method by using one laser to heat the aerosol with nanoparticles in a transport gas flow to ensure the production of spherical nanoparticles and sintering of nanoparticles on a substrate.

Fig. 3. A method of manufacturing bulk micro-sized structures from nanoparticles.

This technical solution makes it possible to produce bulk structures from nanoparticles. However, when using this technical solution, difficulties arise in changing the temperature when heating an aerosol with nanoparticles in a transport gas flow to ensure the production of spherical nanoparticles of the required size, since the heating elements used are inertial and a relatively long time is required, for example, to reduce the heating temperature. Also, two sources of heating are required – for sintering nanoparticles and for heating aerosol with nanoparticles in a transport gas flow.

The result, to achieve which this technical solution is directed, lies in the possibility of more flexible changes in the process parameters while reducing the amount of equipment used to implement the method.

Method for increasing the efficiency of metal hydride heat exchangers (RU 2729567 C1)

The invention relates to the field of heat power engineering and hydrogen energy, or rather, to heating or cooling devices (heat exchangers or heat pumps) based on reversible thermochemical cycles, which use the energy of low-potential heat sources of natural or man-made nature for operation [7]. In these devices, during thermochemical cycles, either the absorption of hydrogen by metals or alloys occurs with the formation of hydrides, which occurs with the release of heat, or the release of hydrogen during the decomposition of hydrides, accompanied by the absorption of heat. Hydrogen uptake occurs at a hydrogen pressure above the hydride formation pressure or at an external temperature below the dehydrogenation temperature, and hydrogen evolution occurs at a hydrogen pressure below the hydride decomposition pressure or at a temperature above the dehydrogenation temperature.

The novelty of the proposed method lies in the fact that dispersed elements, the material of which has a sufficiently low density and a sufficiently high coefficient of thermal diffusivity, are introduced into the composition of the metal hydride filling of the heat exchangers. This allows increasing the specific power of metal hydride heat exchangers and reduce the weight of devices, which is especially important for mobile applications of metal hydride technologies. Additionally, such additives can reduce the sintering capacity of the metal hydride backfill powders during hydrogen absorption-evolution cycles.

The proposed technical solution can also be used for other gas-phase applications of metal hydrides, such as hydrogen storage. The technical result is an increase in the specific power of metal hydride heat exchangers and a decrease in the weight of the device, as well as a decrease in the sintering capacity of the powders of the metal hydride backfill during hydrogen absorption-release cycles.

The technical result obtained is provided by creating a signal of secondary Raman scattering, its amplification in the structure of carbon nanotubes and transmission of the amplified signal to the spectrum analyzer [8].

The fiber-optic sensor works as follows: The sensor is fixed on a plastic tag 5, which contains information about the coordinates and time of sampling. Then the plastic tag 5 with the sensor is placed in the slot of the portable spectrum analyzer, where a laser beam is directed to the object microlens 2, causing secondary Raman (Riemann) radiation from the particles of the substance captured by the film 4. This radiation, its spectral composition, is determined by the structure and composition of the molecule of the investigated substance, which allows the substance to be identified by the spectrogram. The film 4 on the surface of the object lens 2, made with a filling of carbon nanotubes, amplifies electromagnetic oscillations of ultrahigh frequencies. This amplified radiation is collected by the microlens 2 and directed through the fiber-optic cable 1 to the optical receiver of the spectrum analyzer. The digital equivalent of the spectrogram is sent to the cloud database, where the search for the closest spectrogram samples is carried out and a list of substances that meet the selection criterion is returned, indicating the probability of coincidence.
