ABSTRACT: Introduction. Construction materials, products and structures, and primarily their surfaces, during long-term operation have been destroying mainly as a result of two types of impact: corrosive, associated with the influence of an external, aggressive environment on the material, and erosive, caused by mechanical action. An effective and widely used means of protection against corrosion is the use of inhibitors The search for effective methods of anticorrosion protection of metals and alloys is due to the great damage caused by corrosion, not only in technological or economic terms. No less dangerous is the deterioration of the ecological situation caused by the ingress of corrosion products or toxic reagents into the environment. The leading place among corrosion inhibitors is occupied by heterocyclic compounds, namely, nitrogen-containing compounds, in particular imidazoline derivatives. Methods and materials. We synthesized 2-amylidenehydrazinoimidazolinone-4n aminoguanidine, on the basis of which we obtained anticorrosion compositions with the addition of nanoadditives – derivatives of unsymmetrical triazines. Results. The synthesized anticorrosive compositions were tested by electrochemical and gravimetric methods in acidic and model environments. Conclusion. The obtained compounds have a protective ability, and the results indicate the promising use of compositions with nanoadditives – derivatives of 1,2,4-aminotriazines as corrosion inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: Introduction. Advanced technologies inspire people by demonstrating the latest achievements (materials, methods, systems, technologies, devices etc.) that dramatically change the world. This, first of all, concerns nanotechnological inventions designed by scientists, engineers and specialists from different countries. Main part. The article provides an abstract overview of inventions of scientists, engineers and specialists from different countries: Russia, USA, Turkmenistan, Japan et al. The results of the creative activity of scientists, engineers and specialists, including inventions in the field of nanotechnology and nanomaterials allow, when introduced to industry, achieving a significant effect in construction, housing and communal services, and related sectors of the economy. For example, the invention «Modifying additive» is related to the road construction and can be applied in production of asphalt-concrete, including that with utilizing of nanotechnologies. To improve performance characteristics of bitumen and asphalt concrete one can use modifying additive which comprises a mix of carbon nanomaterials. The aim of the invention is to solve the task of creating new technology which could provide obtaining of asphalt concrete with enhanced performance characteristics. The following inventions in the field of nanotechnology can also be interesting for specialists: a method to obtain multi-layered nanocomposite coating; a method of laser surface treatment for steel products; a device to obtain graphene-containing suspension; a method to obtain nanocrystal silicon powder; a self-cleaning material with chemical and biological protection properties; a method of obtaining nanostructured composite material on the basis of aluminum; a device control system with the shape memory effect to manipulate micro- and nanoobjects; a method to form plasmon nanostructures on the object surfaces to provide non-destructive analysis of low concentrations of chemical compounds by Raman spectroscopy et al. Conclusion. One of the most challenging tasks the economy of every country face is to increase industrial competitiveness through technological upgrade. From the side of the state and companies the principal object to control in this process are the people and enterprises dealing with introduction of inventions and new technologies.

ABSTRACT: Introduction. To create concrete with a set of physical and mechanical characteristics, a rational selection of the components of the concrete mix is required, including the use of finely dispersed fillers, including those based on recyclable materials, and a highly effective chemical additive of a certain nature and reactive action, which has a complex effect on concrete system. Methods and materials. The effectiveness of the components in used additive was assessed by changing the indicators of compressive strength, tensile strength in bending, the assessment of which was carried out according to GOST 10180-2012 “Concrete. Methods for determining the strength of control samples. For carrying out scientific and experimental studies, the following materials were used: Portland cement CEM I 42.5N; natural sand; fine microsilica; complex chemical additive with increased plasticizing and reactive effects. Results. The combination of polycarboxylate polymers and nanodispersions of silicon hydroxide enhances the effectiveness of each component, which is reflected in a significant increase in the coefficient of crack resistance of concrete at high compressive strength. It has been established that when using a complex nanopolymer chemical additive, the increase in tensile strength in bending is 67% and it exceeds the increase in compressive strength by more than 30%. Discussion. An increase in hydration activity in the presence of a nanopolymer additive has a positive effect on the compaction of the emerging concrete structure. Confirmation of the formation of a dense and strong structure during the hardening of nanomodified concrete is an increase in the water resistance of concrete by 2.5 times and its frost resistance by more than 2.5 times. Conclusion. The advantage of nanomodified concrete is its increased chemical resistance to carbon dioxide and magnesia corrosion and, in accordance with the index of chemical resistance coefficient, CCSт> 0.8, and GOST R 58895-2020, the developed nanomodified concrete belongs to chemically highly resistant concretes. It is advisable to recommend nanopolymer concrete with high physical and mechanical properties for the manufacture of structures for overhead power transmission lines (OPL).

ABSTRACT: Introduction. Activated sludge is one of thepulp-and-paper industry waste types. Within the framework of the rational natural resources’ utilizationand the waste recycling, due to its composition, activated sludge could be subjected to certain technological solutions for the production of nanofertilizers, since it has been previously the basis for making of various soils and biological products. However,occasionally the composition of activated sludge may contain different toxic compounds, heavy metals, and their impact on soil fertility and plants vital state is profound. Thus, the purpose of our research is to study the effect of the activated sludge introductionas a basis for nanofertilizers on the heavy metals contentin podzolic soils of various granulometric composition in agricultural exploitation. Methods and materials. Research was conducted under the conditions of dummy experimentin vegetation vessels. We have used podzolic soils of various granulometric composition (clayey, loamy, sandy) and pulp-and-paper industry waste – activated sludge in concentrations of 1; 2.5; 5 and 10% of the dried soil weight. Determination of the heavy metals gross content has been carried out by the atomic absorption method with measurement on the AA-7000 spectrophotometer (Shimadzu, Japan); mobile fraction of heavy metalsdetermination (подвижныеформы) – utilizing acetate-ammonium buffer solution by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry methodology. Results and discussion. The paper presents the results of the research on mobileand gross forms of heavy metals in podzolic soil of various granulometric composition when applying activated sludge as the basis of organic nanofertilizer under the dummyexperiment. Conclusion. It was shown that the content of mobile and gross forms of the studied metals (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Ti, Al, Ni, Co, Cr, Cd and Mo) were within the health-based exposure limits, with the exception of Cd gross form, where the maximum excess was 2.5 MAC (maximum allowable concentration).
