Directions

Modern scientific research is being conducted in the Laboratory of Nanostructured Composite Polymer Materials of the Institute of Polymer Chemistry and Physics, and research is actively underway to create solar cells based on di- and tri-cationic perovskites. This laboratory is engaged in the study of advanced technologies for the effective use of solar energy, the synthesis of new materials and their implementation in practice.

Using advanced technological equipment available in the laboratory, perovskite materials are synthesized and their physicochemical and electrical properties are being thoroughly analyzed. Researchers are developing innovative solutions to increase the efficiency of solar cells, ensure their stability, and adapt them to long-term operation. Perovskite solar cells synthesized in the laboratory are being tested using special experimental stands and devices, which makes it possible to determine how they work in real conditions.

These studies are important not only for expanding theoretical knowledge, but also for studying the possibilities of producing highly efficient, inexpensive and environmentally friendly solar panels based on perovskites in the future. The results of the research will be evaluated in collaboration with the international scientific community, and it is planned to direct laboratory research to industrial production. Through this, the laboratory will play an important role in the future development of innovative solar energy technologies and the creation of affordable energy sources for the general public.

The development and deepening of research in the field of natural and synthetic polymers, nanocomposite materials, nanochemistry, nanophysics and naval nanotechnologies is one of the important directions of today's scientific and technological progress. Research in these areas is aimed at studying the physicochemical properties of polymers, creating their new modifications and expanding their application in various industries. In particular, natural polymers are of great importance for use in the fields of biomedicine, ecology and agriculture, while synthetic polymers are widely used in the creation of materials with high strength, resistance to heat and chemical influences.

Nanocomposite materials, distinguished by their strength, lightness and unique physical properties, are widely used in industries such as aviation, automotive, electronics, energy and medicine. In particular, research in the field of nanochemistry and nanophysics is expanding the possibilities of creating materials with new properties based on nanoparticles, controlling their electro-optical, mechanical and chemical parameters. Such research is making a significant contribution to the development of electronic devices, sensors, nanoscale catalysts, and other advanced technologies.

Naval nanotechnology includes areas such as increasing the strength and stealth of ships and submarines, developing anti-corrosion protective materials, and creating waterproof coatings using advanced composite materials. Research in this area serves to increase the efficiency of military equipment and marine vehicles.

At the same time, research on the creation of third-generation alternative energy sources is aimed at developing solar, wind, and hydrogen energy. In particular, new types of perovskite solar cells are being developed in order to maximize the use of solar energy. Research is being conducted to increase their efficiency, manufacture them from cheap and sustainable materials, and expand the possibilities of industrial production.

In addition, the issue of creating and using polymer preparations in various sectors of the economy is gaining urgent importance. In the pharmaceutical industry, polymer-based carriers and biocompatible coatings are being developed to increase the effectiveness of drugs. In agriculture, polymer-based fertilizers, bioactive films, and protective materials are helping to increase crop yields and reduce environmental impacts. In the chemical and petrochemical industries, new types of plastics, adhesives, protective coatings, and other innovative materials are being developed based on polymers.

In general, the above research areas are aimed at developing innovative technologies, diversifying the economy, and ensuring environmental sustainability, which will expand the possibilities of using high-performance materials in various aspects of industry in the future.
