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

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, with possible nanotechnology applications. The main emphasis will be on the modification of materials at the nanometer scale 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 facilities for the production of medical isotopes and the development of materials modification methods.

Expected results in the current year:
 
  1. Determination of the radiation resistance of MgAl2O4 to swift heavy-ion irradiation using optical spectroscopy.
     
  2. Modelling of swift heavy-ion tracks in subsurface layers and interfaces of nanostructured dielectric and composite materials.

  3. Production of self-organized silver and gold nanostructures on the surface of polyester and polyimide track membranes as platforms for analytical devices.

  4. Development of track membranes functionalized by silver nanoparticles and aptamers for  concentrating and detecting viruses in the environment. Construction of sensors based on track membranes using a Raman-active label for detecting viral contamination.

  5. Development of track membranes based on immobilized proteins suppressing the damage of nucleic acid for the study of free DNA in the environment and for the use in non-destructive methods of material analysis.

  6. Development and study of track membranes coated with amphipathic fusion inhibitors and other virucidal compounds against RNA containing enveloped viruses.

  7. Analysis of the effect of the chemical composition and the architecture of the track membrane porous structure on cell growth. Development of bioreactors using track membranes for cell growth with a view to fabricating personalized tissue prostheses.

  8. Production of hybrid nanomaterials using ion track etching technologies, vacuum deposition, electrospinning of polymer nanofibers, and directed chemical modification for novel separation processes and energy conservation.

  9. Optimization of the parameters for the formation of nanoscale coatings based on polyolefins, fluoropolymers, and organosilicon compounds formed on the surfaces of polyethylene terephthalate track membranes from an active gas phase.
  10. Assessment of the distribution of trace elements and radionuclides in the ecosystems of the Gobi region of Mongolia.

  11. Acquisition of nuclear data required for producing nuclear medicine radioisotopes using MT-25 microtron.
