Analytical and Technological Research Center “High Technologies & Nanostructured Materials”: History, Formation and Achieved Results

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Russian Research and Development Activities on Nanoparticles and Nanostructured Materials

This report is a collection of the papers presented at the joint World Technology Evaluation (WTEC), National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Institute of Machine Science Problems (IMSP) workshop on Nanoparticles and Nanostructures in St. Petersburg on August 21, 1997.

Bulk nanostructured thermoelectric materials: current research and future prospects

Thermoelectrics have long been recognized as a potentially transformative energy conversion technology due to their ability to convert heat directly into electricity. Despite this potential, thermoelectric devices are not in common use because of their low efficiency, and today they are only used in niche markets where reliability and simplicity are more important than performance. However, the...

High Coupling Factor Piezoelectric Materials for Bending Actuators: Analytical and Finite Elements Modeling Results

New giant piezoelectric factor materials such as PMN-PT and PZN-PT were researched during the last decade and are actually becoming commercially available. As they seem very attractive for actuator designs, we studied their potential in replacing PZT ceramics. In a first comparative approach, we tested a series of classic rectangular composite bimorph structures of different combinations of thi...
