Under the chairmanship of the Deputy Director for Science, Professor Alexander Viktorovich Genis the meeting determined the work plan of the STC for the current year. Also during the meeting there was heard the report of the Test Center Manager, Candidate of Chemical Sciences, Associate Professor Tatyana Ivanovna Samsonova about the research conducted by the Test Center to identify additional factors that affect an improvement of physical and mechanical properties of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) yarns while maintaining the lowest values of coefficients of variation in strength and linear density of the yarns. The STC participants showed keen interest, approved the results of the research, taking into account all the nuances of the technology for PAN yarns production, and noted that this report is quite topical at the present time. For reference: JSC "VNIISV" is currently the only producer of PAN yarns of fine denier (nominal density 33,3 tex), used as a basic raw material (precursor) for manufacture of carbon tapes ELUR and LUP, carbon bundles VMN-4 for the needs of aerospace industry and enterprises of the defense-industrial sector. The capacity of the VNIISV’s plant allows to produce 140 tpa of PAN yarns of 33,3 tex. About the measures for prevention of coronavirus infection (COVID-19) at the company On March 4th, 2021On March 4th, 2021 there was held a regular meeting of the Operational Headquarters of JSC "VNIISV" on prevention of coronavirus infection. The meeting discussed the situation regarding morbidity of workers in February 2021. The members of the working group decided to extend the action of all previously adopted measures and restrictions to prevent the spread of coronavirus infection. In addition, a request was sent to the Ministry of Health of the Tver Region to organize the vaccination of employees on the territory of the company.
BUSINESS VISIT OF PARTNERSOn March 1, 2021 JSC "VNIISV" was visited by representatives of JSC "GOZNAK" and the Parent organization of the holding company JSC "Obninsk Scientific and Production Enterprise "Technology" named after A.G. Romashin". JSC "GOZNAK" is our long-standing partner, whose mutually beneficial cooperation has been going on for more than 30 years. During the visit our specialists held a presentation of the scientific and production complex "Protection" and organized a tour to the production shop of special fiber for protection of securities against counterfeiting. At the end of the tour the parties took part in a technology meeting, where they expressed their mutual interest in development of cooperation. The successful experience of cooperation and mutual interest in strengthening business relations between the companies open up excellent prospects for further development. For reference: Joint-Stock Company “Goznak” is a modern, dynamically developing enterprise that successfully competes in the Russian and world markets of manufacturers of protected products. The production capacities of JSC “Goznak” allow to produce annually: 11 thousand tons of protected banknote paper, 7 billion of banknotes, 5 billion coins, up to 40 million passports, from 30 to 45 million postage stamps (depending on the stamp format and printing technology), as well as the required number of federal special, excise stamps and other products.
MEDIA about usMOSCOW, January 15th, 2021 - RIA Novosti"Rostec”: The polyethylene "Sotnik" will surpass any bulletproof vest in protection. As a basis for equipment of the third generation "Sotnik” (that means “centurion”), which is planned to be created to replace the "Ratnik” (that means “warrior"), there is considered an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber " "Thanks to the new materials, the set of equipment "Centurion" will get a record low weight and the ability to fit the anatomical features of the fighter. As a result, the protection will not restrict movements and will allow the fighter to take an additional weight necessary to perform special missions. At the same time, the equipment will have increased protection in comparison with existing types of bulletproof vests," the State corporation said. In the future, "Sotnik" will not only stop the shrapnel flying at a speed of up to 670 meters per second, but also extinguish the shock pulse, which can cause serious damage to internal organs even without breaking through the protection. "We expect to get such an effect through the use of special shock-absorbing means," the State corporation explained. As the director of Rostec’s weapons complex, Bekhan Ozdoev, told RIA Novosti in November last year: ”Sotnik will be lighter, more ergonomic, more reliable and more technologically advanced than “Ratnik”.
MEDIA ABOUT US On January 13th, 2021  In January 2021 (No. 2 from 13.01.2021) the newspaper of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation "Red Star" published an article written by Director General of the Center "Armokom", chief designer of the security system of military combat equipment, honored scientist of the Russian Federation Eugene F. Kharchenko "The Armor will be lighter and stronger" about ultralight composite materials from ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber developed in our Institute. Despite the unfavorable economic situation, Russian chemists from “VNIISV” (Tver) have created and continuously improve domestic ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene fibers. Their specific strength reaches 350 cN/tex, that is almost 1,5 times higher than that of the best aramid fibers of "Kevlar" type (USA). On the base of UHMWPE fibers, Russian specialists have made composite armor elements to protect the vital organs from hand-held firearms and the legs of military personnel from shrapnel. Unlike foreign technologies, these facilities of armor protection were first made by winding. “Thus, in Russia there has appeared a new class of highly effective ballistic and structural composite material, which can be brought to practical use by advanced domestic enterprises and research teams charged with a wish of winning over foreign competitors." "Red Star", 13.01.2021 (No. 2, p.8) The article "Armor protection will be lighter and stronger" is published in the Internet resources http://redstar.ru/bronezashhita-stanet-legche-i-prochnee/
