Today, the fourth Science Talks took place in the Technopark “Idea”, an event where young scientists compete in the skill of presenting their own project and development.
Postgraduates and students of the Institute of Polymers of the Kazan National Research Technological University (KNRTU) presented their scientific developments in a language understandable and accessible to the audience, and viewers - students of the elementary grades of the university, based on the results, chose the winners by SMS-voting.
So, Ilyas Zakirov presented the membrane polymer film that can withstand temperatures of more than 300 degrees. It is assumed that clothing using such material will increase the protection of fire service employees, as well as industrial workers interacting with dangerous reagents.
Moreover, based on humidity and body temperature, it can change its vapor permeability. His project has already been awarded at the competition “UMNIK”, having received funding in the amount of 750,000 rubles.
Handmade from flexible carbon fiber was presented by Ilya Lapochkin. He developed a unique composition and sewed a briefcase bag from it, as well as covers for documents. According to the author, the cost of the bag was about 2,000 rubles. At the same time, analogues of popular brands reach 800,000 rubles. Ilya found the first buyers already in the hall. The viewers also offered to expand the list of products.
According to the results of voting, Ilya was recognized as the winner of the fourth Science talks and awarded with memorable prizes from Technopark “Idea”.
At the end of the event, acting director of the Institute of Polymers KNRTU Asya Yaroshevskaya noted that “nothing is impossible in this life. We really hope that those who listened today will speak at such an event”.
