The material is twice as lighter than aluminum, while super-strong, thermo- and frost-resistant – and also resistant to radiation – was developed by scientists from the Kabardino-Balkar State University named after Kh.M. Berbekova.

The material representing the new generation of superconstructive polymers is economical in production. Its unique properties are obtained by controlling them at the molecular level.

Products from innovative polymers developed in the laboratory of super-structural polymers and three-dimensional printing can be manufactured using 3D printing. Scientists suggest that the material will be used for the construction of aircraft, rockets and cars, as well as in medicine and oil and gas industry.

High hydrolytic stability and biological inertness make it possible to use them in medicine. With the use of 3D-printing of these materials, it is possible to produce prostheses designed to suit the characteristics of a particular person. They can also be used for 3D printing of unmanned aerial vehicles, exoskeletons, machine units and mechanisms, complex parts of robotic devices or elements of a space suit. Resistance to extreme temperatures, both low and high, makes it promising for use in the Arctic and in outer space.

“According to many characteristics, such polymers are superior to metals, while their weight is 50-70% less,” explains Svetlana Khashirova, the head of the laboratory.

On the development of the press service of the Foundation for Advanced Studies (FPI), supported the study.

From polymers, you can make a lot of useful human materials. One option is medical glue for bonding wounds.
