The next session of the Scientific Council was held at the institute

The next meeting of the Scientific Council was held at the Institute of Radiation Problems of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (ANAS).

The General Director of the Institute, corresponding member of ANAS, professor Islam Mustafayev, who opened the meeting with an introductory speech, brought the issues on the agenda to the attention of the event participants.

At the meeting, a certificate issued by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Free Trade Union of Azerbaijan Education Workers was presented to Matanat Mehrabova, the head of the Laboratory of Renewable Energy Conversions of the Institute, Doctor of Physics, Associate Professor for leading the scientific projects of the students who achieved success in the 11th Republic Competition "Scientists of Tomorrow", also a certificate issued by the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport and TEKNOFEST, as well as a letter of appreciation issued by Virtual Azerbaijan and Vision TV, for the participation of the “gFuture” team of students led by her in the final stage of the “Green technologies” competition of the Teknofest Aerospace and Technology Festival were presented.

Then Amina Mikayilova, head of the Institute's Education Department, Ph.D. in Physics, was presented with a certificate issued by the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Azerbaijan for her active participation in the intellectual game dedicated to the World Environment Day, and Gunel Imanova, a young scientist of the Institute, Ph.D. in Physics, was presented with an associate professor's diploma.

At the meeting, opinions were exchanged on the fourth meeting of the Technology and Innovations subgroup of the Commission on Business Environment and International Ratings and its protocol on the discussion of issues arising from the 2022 Roadmap of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Azerbaijan regarding the improvement of international rating indicators related to scientific publications.

Also, at the meeting, and the issues related to the head of the Institute's radiation physics laboratory of magnetoelectrics, doctor of physics and mathematics, professor Rauf Sardarli, professor from the field of radiation materials science, Voting for Sevil Mammadli, Doctor of Biological Sciences, an employee of the "Radiochemistry and Radioprotectors" laboratory, to receive the title of Associate Professor, The secondment of Sabina Maharramova, an engineer-researcher of the scientific-experimental complex "Radiation sources of isotope origin" to the United Institute of Nuclear Research located in Dubna, Russia, and the latest research work conducted by Asif Nabiyev, researcher of the "Radiation physics of polymer and electroactive materials" laboratory at the United Nuclear Research Institute, were reviewed.

Then, at the invitation of Norway's Oslo University, Sabina Maharramova, engineer-researcher of RPI's Isotope Radiation Sources scientific-experimental complex, who conducted research there as a guest researcher from November 2020 to June 2022, gave a scientific report on the research works and programs she mastered to the council members and the results obtained in the studies were widely discussed. Based on the discussions, it was decided to send Sabina Maharramova to Dubna United Nuclear Research Institute of Russia and to testify before the Department of Physics, Mathematics and Technical Sciences of ANAS.

Asif Nabiyev, a scientific worker of the Institute's Laboratory of Radiation Physics of Polymer and Electroactive Materials, who spoke later at the meeting, gave extensive information about the scientific research work carried out by the YuMO group of the Frank Neutron Physics Laboratory of the United Nuclear Research Institute of Russia, the Department of Condensed Media Research by Neutronography.

In his speech, Asif Nabiyev brought to the attention of the members of the Scientific Council the results of his research on interphase effects occurring at the polymer-filler boundary in YSPE/Fe3O4 nanocomposites obtained with different volume ratios of the filler, based on high-density polyethylene (YSPE) and nanoscale Fe3O4 metal oxide.

It was noted that the structure and properties of YSPE/Fe3O4 nanocomposite layers were determined using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), large-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).

These studies are very relevant and promising both from a practical point of view and from a fundamental-scientific point of view. Also, polymer-based smart-hybrid nanocomposites are highly durable and relatively low-cost materials for next-generation electronic devices and systems, as well as in military-defense, aerospace, automotive, bio-medical, sensor technology, as well as a new type of high-voltage insulation technology has wide prospective possibilities as highly durable and relatively inexpensive materials.

Discussions were held around Asif Nabiyev's report and it was considered appropriate to continue these studies.

In the end, additional fire safety measures and other current issues were discussed at the Institute of Radiation Problems.
