V. Bakul Institute for Superhard Materials
The Institute is engaged in the development of processes for production and application of synthetic diamond, cubic boron nitride and other superhard materials, high-density high-tech ceramics, and cemented carbides. We deal also with manufacturing structural products and tools of the above materials.
Fundamental research:physico-chemical processes of forming, growth and study the characteristics of mono- and polycrystalline, dispersed materials, diamond and diamond-like films in a wide range of temperatures and pressures; development of methods of spontaneous and directed regulated synthesis of superhard materials and development of methods of static, explosive and epitaxial synthesis. Priority-driven elaborations:large monocristals of synthetic diamonds; elite grindpowder and micropowder of synthetic diamonds and cubic boron nitride; polycristalline and composite superhard materials based on diamond and cubic boron nitride; diamond and carbide tool for higly efficient metal-machining, boring, stone-machining, coal output and geological survey; articles of ceramics; polising pastes for high-exect optics; superprecision lather of diamond turning and polishing; technologies of precisely machining of metals, glass and ceramics.
