Materials and their application:

Development of nanostructured hard plates (SiC and B4C), ceramic materials for cutting tools (Al2O3–SiC, Al2O3–SiC–Si3N4), prototype detectors SiC–Si3N4 (joint efforts with the Kurchatov Institute and CERN) with the pre-established surface and volume electrical resistance for aerospace uses; a ceramic material based on HfCxN1-x hafnium carbonitride with the theoretical melting temperature of over 4400 K was synthesized and obtained.

Development of intermetallic and low-module alloys for 3D printing (Ni–Al, Nb–Al, Ti–Al, Ti–Si, Ti–Nb, Ti–Al–Ni, etc.)

A spectrum of material for creating new catalyst agents, condensers, sensors, gas sensors, metal-dielectric-metal and metal-dielectric-semi-conductor structures, piezo- and thermoelectrics is being developed.

The superalloys based on high entropy materials (Ti–Cu–Al–Ni–Nb, Fe–Ni–Cr–Co–Mn, Ni–Al–Cr–
Fe–W(Mo), Hf–Zr–Ta–Nb–Ti and Hf–Zr–Ta–Mo–Ti) are under way.

SHS approaches for the new class of ceramic and high entropy carbides, borides and nitrides are being developed: (HfZrTaNbTi)B2, (HfZrTaMoTi)B2, (HfZrMoNbTi)C, (MoZrTaNbTi)С and (HfZrMoNbTi)N

Pseudoalloys for vacuum electrocontacts (Cu–Cr, Cu–Mo, Cu–W, Cu–Cr–Mo, Cu–SiC, Cu–Cr– SiC, etc.)
