MODIFIER

The basis of the multi-purpose modifier is the quasicrystal powder of the Al-Cu-Fe system
Quasicrystals are a new class of materials with unique properties. Quasicrystals, as a class, was opened in 1984 year. Currently, a lot of researches are being conducted around the world regarding the use of quasicrystals in almost all spheres of human life. The obstacle of large-scale practical application of quasicrystals is the high cost of synthesis of this material.

Our company NANOCOM has invented the unique technology that allowed to reduce the cost of production of quasicrystals to the level providing possibility of its application in industrial scales.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

  • Increase of mechanical characteristics and adhesion to metals of polymers, elastomers and materials based on them;
  • Increase of working capacity and resource of friction units and mechanisms in normal operating conditions, as well as in abnormal conditions of “oil starvation” and ” dry friction»;
  • Reinforcement of metals with the purpose of creation of antifriction composite materials;
  • Formation of coatings on glass and metals to reduce the coefficient of friction and increase the level of hydrophobicity;
  • Development of bioactivators.
  • Increases the energy efficiency of friction units in the lubricant or as a coating
  • Increase the wear resistance of the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE,Teflon) in 2200-3100 times (at a concentration of 16 vol.%).Learn more
