The RT-Khimkompozit holding of the State Corporation Rostec has successfully completed industrial testing of an innovative construction polymer that has no Russian analogues.

The production of the material is organized on the basis of the Research Institute of Polymers - the enterprise is part of the Rostec subsidiary RT-Khimkompozit.

Sheet structural foam, produced under the brand name "Akrimid", has a record heat resistance and is resistant to chemical attack. The material is used as a lightweight filler in the manufacture of multilayer parts made of fiberglass and carbon fiber, the inner skin of spacecraft, aircraft, engine fairings, hulls for small aircraft and unmanned vehicles, etc. The material is also used in the production of composite hulls and deck elements of ships and boats, hull structures of radar equipment.

"Structural foamed polymers are an indispensable material in the production of a wide variety of civilian and military products. The introduction of domestic development will allow us to abandon imported analogs in strategically important industries: the production of spacecraft, aviation technology, shipbuilding, radio electronics. The material has already been tested at Rostec and our partners - in the KRET concern, UAC, High-Precision Complexes, Ruselectronics, Tactical Missile Weapons Corporation, Roscosmos State Corporation and the United Shipbuilding Corporation. The results show that the development is at least not inferior in its technical characteristics to foreign models ", - said the executive director of the State Corporation Rostec Oleg Yevtushenko.

THERMONUCLEAR SYNTHESIS IN A GARAGE IS POSSIBLE, BUT PROHIBITED? Why has the ARTIFICIAL SUN not been created yet?

In this issue we will tell you what difficulties scientists have faced, what developments are already available today, and should we count on the development of thermonuclear fusion in this century?

To what extent has the solar system been studied: how did humanity move into space and when will it master new worlds?

We all understand how rockets take off, but we rarely think about the fact that cosmonautics is multifaceted, and among other things, as a result, the tasks of landing and ensuring activities are set

Gleb Kotelnikov - the father of knapsack parachutes, who created the aviation revolution

What associations do you have when you mention aviation? Airplane, pilot, parachute - probably the most popular. Do you know that a knapsack parachute saves the lives of pilots thanks to our compatriot, Gleb Evgenievich Kotelnikov, and about the difficult path that the inventor went through to give his creation a chance for life?
