Live from Egypt 🤩

Good morning! How are you? The weather is wonderful!
And we wish you a great week!

And to make the week pass brightly and pompously, catch the announcement of events from PolyUnion! ❤️

"In my opinion, some of the best technical universities in the world are in Russia. I was looking for opportunities to study in the nuclear power industry, and I was interested in the topic of building Turkey’s first nuclear power plant, Akkuyu.
I started reading materials about it and found that Polytechnic University is one of the few universities that prepares specialists to work at this nuclear power plant. I understood that together with the university I was choosing my future — it was an important and reasonable decision."

Can Alp Alaçam is studying for his Master’s degree at the Institute of Energy under a special program to train personnel for Turkey’s first nuclear power plant, Akkuyu.

Read his interview where he talked about his choice of studies, his participation in the St. Petersburg International Gas Forum, and shared his plans for the future. 😉

Researchers from SPbPU in collaboration with colleagues from St. Petersburg State University developed the coatings for titanium implants, which accelerate the implantation of the implant material into the bone tissue.

"We have developed a method for applying a thin (nanometer size) and uniform titanium oxide coating on titanium carcass structures, which can be used as an implant." - notes Dr. Maximov.

He explained that the researchers tested the properties of a range of titanium implant coatings, differing in composition, thickness, and structure.

The coatings were applied by atomic layer deposition in special vacuum equipment. After the modification of the implants, the successful studies were carried out on cells in vitro, and then in vivo (on experimental animals).

Currently, they started applying silver nanoparticles on the surface of titanium since this chemical element obtains useful antibacterial properties and should reduce the risk of implant rejection.
