Particle Technology in Russia

The main interests of the fine particle program which is carried out in the research institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) and High School are concentrated around the following topics:

- particle formation;

- nanoscale compacting;

- characterization and measurements;

- applications including based on size-dependent characteristics.

The review presents a quite detailed description of the state of art concerning the above topics involving a general outlook of a scale of the research field as well as of an extended geography of the research performance. Particular attention is paid to the level of readiness of the new material technologies as well as characterisation methods and tools for technological applications.
