Scientists at the Gagarin State Technical University of Saratov have created a technology that will improve the quality of composite materials intended for use in harsh Arctic climates. This technology can be widely used in the creation of ice-resistant offshore platforms. In addition, it can be used in the construction of pipelines, tanks for storing technical fluids, and fuel tanks.
Polymer composite materials are widely used in aircraft construction, rocket construction, energy, construction and other strategically important industries. However, many such materials become brittle at low temperatures, lose their performance properties and can be destroyed.
The created method makes it possible to produce reliable and heat-resistant composite materials that retain their bearing capacity in a wide temperature range. These innovative materials can be used in the Arctic, where they will be able to withstand temperature fluctuations from -50 to +50 degrees Celsius.
Previously, Russian scientists developed a unique heated vest that can operate autonomously for up to four hours. It can be used for diving under the ice. The vest is completely safe and will work even if water gets inside. The technology used in it allows you to retain heat.
