Participating countries and international organizations:
Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Cuba, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Mongolia, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovak Republic, South Africa, Spain, USA, Vietnam.

Issues addressed and main goals of research:
Transition to a new level of research and development in the fields of radiation solid-state physics, applied radiochemistry, and materials science opening the way to nanotechnology applications. The main emphasis will be on the modification of materials in the nanometer range and on the study of the effects produced by heavy ions in matter with the aim of revealing the fundamental mechanisms and developing nanotechnology applications of ion beams. Upgrade of the FLNR equipment for the production of medical isotopes and the development of materials modification methods.

Expected results in the current year:
 
  • Determination of threshold values of specific ionization energy losses of heavy ions for the formation of latent tracks in Y4Al2O9, Al2O3, TiO2, Si3N4 
  • Creation of experimental set-up for homogeneous doping of materials with helium and hydrogen ions with energies of 1-4 MeV.

  • Determination of the conditions for the formation of nanoholes and nanochannels in graphene oxide under high-energy heavy ion impact.

  • Experimentsl study and theoretical description of electrokinetic and osmotic properties of track-etched membranes with pore radii of 10-20 nm.

  • Determination of ion-selective properties of membranes obtained from ion-irradiated polymer foils using soft photolysis and liquid extraction of photolysis and radiolysis products from tracks.

  • Development of hybrid membranes composed of a Ti-coated track etched membrane and a layer of nanofibers produced by electrospinning from chitosan, collagen and hyaluronic acid.

  • Development of the fabrication method for track-etched membranes on the basis of the biodegradable polymer polylactide.

  • Study of the membrane distillation process for the desalination of seawater using composite track-etched membranes with a thin hydrophobic layer.

  • Study of the elemental composition of modified track-etched membranes and their Cs cation sorption ability using nondestructive XRFA method.
