The TSC SB RAS researchers introduced carbide-containing materials produced using plastic waste
27 nov 2023The researchers of the Tomsk Scientific Center produced valuable titanium carbides using the highly exothermic reaction between PET bottles and Ti powder as well as a hydrogen-containing gaseous by-product which can be used as fuel for heat and power units. These carbides are similar in their properties to the reference ones. The research is published in Green Chemical Engineering.

The optimal fuel injection strategy for rotary engines
3 nov 2023Researchers from the Tomsk Scientific Center SB RAS and Beijing University of Technology conducted numerical and experimental investigation of mixture formation, ignition, and combustion processes to enhance performance characteristics of rotary engines for various purposes. The reported study funded by Russian Science Foundation No. 21-79-00170 were published in Fuel journal. -
A method for fabricating powders with a core-shell structure was proposed at the TSC SB RAS
24 oct 2023Researchers from the Tomsk Scientific Center SB RAS fabricated core(Al)-shell(Y/Dy) particles by electron beam treatment of Al powder. Such powders containing rare earth metals will make it possible to produce highly oxidation resistant gas burners using self-propagating high-temperature synthesis. The research was funded by Russian Science Foundation (No. 21-79-10445). The results are reported in Materials Today Communications.
