PRESIDIUM OF THE COUNCIL FOR THE MODERNIZATION OF THE ECONOMY AND INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF RUSSIA UNDER THE PRESIDENT OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION MEETS TO DISCUSS EMPLOYMENT OF INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY IN CONSTRUCTION’

On 4 March 2014, Dmitry Medvedev, Chairman of the Govern-ment of the Russian Federation, held a meeting of the Presidium of the Council for the Modernization of the Economy and Inno-vative Development of Russia under the President of the Russian Federation.

The meeting of the Presidium was attended by A.V. Dvorkovich, Deputy Chairman of the RF Government; A.V. Ulyukayev, Min-ister of Economic Development; A.V.Novak, Minister of Energy; I.N. Slyunyayev, Minister of Regional Development; M.A. Aby-zov, Minister of the Russian Federation; G.S.Nikitin, First Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade; S.Yu. Vetokhin, Executive Direc-tor of the Union of Composites Manufacturers, and representa-tives of construction and education sectors.

The members of the Presidium and invited experts discussed the introduction of innovations and the use of modern materials and technologies in construction.

Sergey Vetokhin, Executive Director of the Union of Compos-ites Manufacturers, spoke about the issues and experience of us-ing composites in construction.

“The composite materials production industry cannot complain that the Government pays no attention to it,” he said. “The Rus-sian President has issued instructions on state support for the industry, and they are being carried out. You, Mr. Prime-Minister, signed a “roadmap” for the industry’s development in 2013 that is also being implemented. The Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade has done a huge amount of work; the Government has de-veloped a State Sub-programme for funding the development of our statutory base (GOST standards and SNiP Construction Regu-lations) and subsidizing R&D at our industry’s enterprises. The R&D results are to be implemented particularly in construction, which the largest market consuming composite materials; and our development targets have been set: reach a tenfold growth by 2020.

However, there is a risk these targets will not be attained and the results will not be implemented because the Russian con-struction industry has its own ‘Independence Maidan’. It is called

the RF Main Directorate for State Expert Review. This Frondeur authority has its own opinion, different from that of the national Government, and its own norms, rules, and laws.

While the President’s instruction calls directly for the implemen-tation of pilot projects and the introduction of large-scale compos-ite production in the construction and transport infrastructure, the Expert Review agency keep turning down all the projects, although they have all the legal grounds to approve them.

This problem needs to be addressed promptly. Otherwise, it will be simply impossible to execute the presidential instructions and implement the State Sub-programme. This problem has a solution, and we have already discussed it at the Ministry of Construction, where we met with full understanding and support onthepartoftheMinistry’stopofficials.Andwegivethemourspecial thanks for this. I hope we will eliminate this problem in the very near future.”

GREEN LIGHT FOR COMPOSITES ON THE ROADS

The 8th Transport Week, an annual business event of the RF Min-istry of Transport, was held from 1 to 6 December, 2014. During the Week, at the 8th Inernational Forum Transport of Russia in the Gostiny Dvor exhibition complex on 4 December 2014, Roman V. Starovoyt, Head of the RF Road Agency signed the Agency Programme for the Introduction of Composite Materials. Structures and Products.

This document was developed by the Federal Road Agency in co-operation with the Union of Composites Manufacturers, with the participation of interested enterprises and organisations from the Russian composites industry in accordance with the List of Instructions by the President of the Russian Federation No. Pr-3028 resulting from the meeting of the Council for Moderniza-tion of the Economy and Innovative Development of Russia un-

der the RF President held on 24 October 2012, and pursuant to instructions of the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation No. DM-P8-6998 of 21 November 2012.

The primary reason for the interest in using composite materi-als and products (“CMs”) in building transport infrastructure lies in the fact that CM use in the road industry accelerates construction, reduces operation costs and makes transport infrastructure more durable. Also, composites are lighter, stronger, more resistant to ag-gressive media and more wear-resistant than traditional materials.

In the international practice of road infrastructure building and renovations, composites are used for making bridge struc-tures, road surfacing,flights of stairs and stair approaches, en-closures and handrails, as external reinforcement systems, for making roadways and pavements, elements of above-ground and below-ground parts of pillars, bus stop shelters, noise screens, culverts, storm-water treatment facilities, road mesh, manhole

lids, chute channels, etc. This list expands every year to include new technological and engineering solutions.

Although Russian companies produce the whole range of products from polymer composites for the above purposes, the actual numbers of the Russian composite industry’s products used in road construction are just a fraction of a percentage point of worldwide consumption. This is why it was decided to develop the CM Introduction Programme, aiming to promote the ample useofmodernandefficientcompositesandstructuresandprod-ucts in the Russian road sector.

The Programme’s main goals are: increase the demand for composites products with a view to their wide application in the road sector; increase production and consumption of innovative products from the composites industry that reduce the cost of ownership; raise the efficiency and innovation level of govern-ment procurement by the Road Agency through using composites structures and products.

The Programme is to be implemented in two stages: 2014–2016 and 2017–2020. The indicators chosen as the Programme’s performance criteria are absolute values of composite mate-rial consumption in the Russian road sector and the volumes of government procurement of products made from or containing composites resulting in reduced ownership cost and extended maintenance-free service life.

The Programme’s success will promote the development of the Russian composites industry and broaden CM application in the road sector. Generally speaking, the signing of the Composites Introduction Programme gives a green light to joint development of the Russian composite industry and the road sector, and appli-

STATE COMPANIES’ PROCUREMENT INSTRUMENTAL TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF INNOVATIVE SMALL AND MEDIUM BUSINESS

Promoting demand for innovative products is a priority for active development of the composites industry. Both in Russia and world-wide, small and medium enterprises constitute much of the composites industry, so, to operate normally, they must be given full access to procurement by government agencies and state-owned companies.

State authorities, the Union of Composites Manufacturers, and interested enterprises and organisations of the Russian com-posites industry all pay special attention to this.

In order to address this issue, a working group “Increasing Small and Medium Businesses Access to Procurement by Infra-structural Monopolies and Companies with State Participation” (the “Working Group”) was set up under the auspices of the Stra-tegic Initiative Agency. The Working Group developed and is now monitoring an action plan (a “roadmap”) to assist national entre-preneurial initiative that was approved by Ordinance No. 867-r of the RF Government dated 29 May 2013.

On 11 December 2014, a meeting to discuss implementation of roadmaps for the national initiative was held in the House of the Government of the Russian Federation. Dmitry Medvedev, Chairman of the Government, informed in his speech that he had signedResolution1352“OntheSpecificsoftheParticipationofSmall and Medium Businesses in Procurement of Goods, Works and Services by Individual Types of Legal Entities”; adoption of this document is a key step on the roadmap.

According to this document, state companies’ purchases from

cation of composite materials is an inherent feature of innovative development of individual road facilities and the whole transport infrastructure.

small and medium businesses must be at least 18 per cent of the aggregate annual value of the procurement contracts to be awarded by state companies. The annual value of direct contracts to be concluded with small and medium businesses under special procedures must be at least 10 per cent.

Sergei Fakhretdinov, Chairman of the Board of the Union of Composites Manufacturers, and Sergei Vetokhin, Executive Di-rector of the Union, took an active part in the development of this document.

Nation-wide, active work is under way to promote small and medium businesses, including the composites industry. New ho-rizons open before the companies and new markets for innova-tive products appear. The task of small businesses in the compos-ites industry is to switch to new and promising products and to be bold enough to enter those markets.

FRENCH-RUSSIAN MEETINGS ON COMPOSITE MATERIALS

On 24 and 25 June 2014, French-Russian meetings on compos-ite materials organised by the UBIFRANCE trade mission were held at the French embassy in Moscow.

The meetings discussed the current status and development prospects of the composites industry in Russia and the criteria of success in the Russian market of composite materials.

On the French side, the meetings were attended by represent-atives Sicomin Co., a leading producer of epoxy resins, Coriolis Composites Co., the development of robotised equipment and ro-botics software; and IDI Composites Co. that produces prepregs and premixes.

The highly informative meeting programmes attracted some 100 Russian participants, including equipment and composite material manufacturers, as well as researchers, engineers and ex-perts from the composite material business.

The meetings were supported by the Union of Composites Manufacturers.

REGIONS SHARE THEIR COMPOSITES APPLICATION EXPERIENCE

On 31 July 2014, a conference was held in Samara to discuss the regional programmes for the introduction of composite structures and products in transport, construction, utility servic-es, and oil and gas transportation. The conference was initiated by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, and organised by the Union of Composites Manufacturers.

The conference included twoplenary sessions. Thefirst ses-

sion was dedicated to the development and implementation of regional programmes for the introduction of composite struc-tures and products; the main subject of the second plenary ses-sion was the “Introduction of Composite Material Structures and Products in Transport, Construction, Utility Services, and Oil and Gas Transportation: Barriers and Incentives for Greater Demand, and Successful Introduction Experience.”

The conference was attended by over 170 participants, includ-ing those from executive authorities of Russian Federation enti-ties, companies from the composite industry based in the Central, Volga, North-Western, Siberian and Urals Federal Districts, as well as potential consumers of polymer composite articles from the transport, construction, utilities, sports and recreation, and oil and gas transportation sectors.

The regional programmes for the introduction of composite material structures and articles are developed and implemented by executive authorities of the Russian Federation entities in accordance with the List of Instructions by the President of the Russian Federation No. Pr-3028 and pursuant to the Plan of Ac-tivities (‘Roadmap’) “Development of the composite Materials Production Industry”, approved by Ordinance No. 1307-r of the government of the Russian Federation.

PROMOTING RESEARCH IN THE COMPOSITES INDUSTRY (OUTCOMES OF THE 8TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE)

It is an open secret that composite materials (CMs) belong to the present as well as the future. Due to a set of unique proper-ties and to the ability of forming the properties as a product is made,compositescanbeusedinthediverseindustries.CMsfindthe widest use in construction, road building, utility services, au-tomotive and aircraft industries, in oil and gas production, and transportation facilities, and in the production of sporting gear and household utensils. Consolidating research and production at the federal and international levels is one of the most urgent tasks; solving this task will promote an accelerated development of the composites industry.

To this end, on 26 November 2014 the RF Chamber of Com-merce and Industry hosted the 8th Annual International Confer-ence “Composite Materials: Production, Applications, and Market Trends”, initiated by the RF Ministry of Industry and Trade Fed-eration and organised by the Union of Composites Manufacturers.

As Sergei B. Fakhretdinov, Chairman of the Board of the Union of Composites Manufacturers and member of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation, said in his opening speech, the goals of the conference included demonstration of new R&D results in the composites field, sharing the latest ideas, and establish-ment of ties among researchers, manufacturers, consumers, and the authorities. He also stressed the need to support small and medium businesses and called for facilitating access to govern-ment procurement for companies from the composites sector. As small and medium businesses constitute a sizable segment of the composites industry both in Russia and worldwide, this task was quite important and relevant for the industry in terms of its in-creasing sales opportunities.

The composites industry cannot develop actively due to the lack of good communication between science and industry. As thechiefaimofaproduceristoderiveprofits,innovationdevel-opment is not always a priority. On the other hand, the scientists’ main task is to create new solutions which, however, cannot al-ways be implemented by the industry.

The conference programme was divided into two chapters. The chapter entitled ‘”Transfer of Intellectual Results into Industry” discussed not only the latest R&D results, but also suggestions on their implementation. The chapter’s work resulted in the idea to prepare a handbook on the developments concerning compos-ites production and application, for subsequent transfer into the industry. Conference participants agreed that, with respect to the transferof researchfindings,scienceand industrywerebe twoinseparable parts whose active interaction will prevent research efforts and developments from being mothballed for years; in-stead,theywillbeactively implementedtobenefitboththere-searchers and manufacturers and the national economy.

The second chapter of the Conference, entitled “Contemporary Production of Composite Items: Materials, Technology, and Ap-plication Experience”, discussed the latest solutions in develop-mentofnewbindersandsemi-finishedproducts,andtheissuesconcerning supplying composites for key sectors of the economy. The reports covered, in particular, development of innovative low-combustible composite materials and composites for building nuclear industry facilities and railway infrastructure. As for new binders,amostefficientmethodforobtainingtheseistomodify

basic resins, particularly epoxy or polyester ones. Both Russian and foreign manufacturers made a special emphasis on this ob-jective. It should be noted that presence of similar topics on the Conference agenda does not result in any ‘repetitions’ – it is, on the contrary, an opportunity to look into certain issues in more de-tailandarriveatmorecomprehensiveandcompetentfindingsinaspecificarea,whichalsofostersco-operativepartnershipsamongdifferent manufacturers, the research community and producers.

The conference was attended by representatives of Federal Ex-ecutive authorities, including the Russian Ministry of Education and Science and Ministry of Trade and Industry; faculty members, experts from research institutes and enterprises of the Russian composites industry, and by members of the international com-posites industry such as BÜFA Composite Systems, BYK Chemie; Reichhold, Scott Bader, STEVIK, Virtek, and others.

It should also be noted that the conference was attended by uni-versity students, postgraduates and renowned Russian researchers. All this demonstrates that the event was held on a really large scale, in all respects. Links between generations, countries, and manu-facturers and consumers offer hopes for our industry’s highly pro-fessional development. The Union of Composites Manufacturers held this conference not as a series of matter-of-fact reports but as a dialogue between researchers and manufacturers. And as most companies attended the Union’s events for a number of years, in their reports they not only share their new developments produced over a period of time but also show improvement trends in their materials’ and technology’s performance.

In summary, the composites market has excellent development outlooks in Russia. Production is only starting to grow, and enter-prises, research organisations and the authorities show more and more interest from year to year. This is also suggested by the number of participants in the Conference, which also increases every year.

Developing the composites industry is quite relevant for Rus-sia, and a key solution to it is the transfer of research results into industry and co-ordination of efforts among research organi-sations. So the Conference resulted not only in an exchange of ready solutions from composites R&D: it also set new goals and plans for the future. The outcomes of their implementation can be shared at future events to be organized by the Union of Com-posites Manufacturers.

PRODUCTION OF COMPOSITE PARTS FOR MS-21 LAUNCHED AT VASO

The Voronezh aircraft manufacturer launched production of composite parts for MS-21 passenger aircraft.

As stated by Dmitry Mitin, head of the MS-21 project at the Voronezh aircraft plant (VASO), and reported by the “Umnoye Proizvodstvo”magazine,thefirstfourpanelsofthetailleadingedge were passed on for bench testing and, following relevant control checks, would go into production chain.

It is noteworthy that the VASO is part of a cooperation chain to implement one of the breakthrough projects of the Russian aviation industry. The plant will make access doors of polymer composite materials, flap carriage fairing,main and front landing gear half-doors, wing-fuselage fairing, and other major parts of the airliner.

According to Dmitry Mitin, implementing pilot and chain pro-duction of MS-21 parts “required new organizational and techno-logical approaches”. Since the aircraft was designed using digital technologies, a channel for getting design documentation was set up along with a special division to handle technological develop-ments for manufacturing new units, the agency’s source added. As such, the process of using composite materials in the aircraft industry was not a novelty since the core technological solutions

MINISTRY OF INDUSTRY & TRADE TO SET UP SPECIAL MATERIAL SCIENCE CENTRE FOR AIRCRAFT INDUSTRY

On 17 November 2014, the Ministry of Industry and Trade pro-

posed to set up a special material science centre based on the All-Russia Institute of Aircraft Materials to consolidate the whole in-novation potential of the aviation industry. This was announced by Denis Manturov, Minister of Industry and Trade, in the course of a business trip to Irkutsk.

As stated in the Ministry’s newsletter, “the centre is expected to be launched in early 2016. The operating model for the future centre could be the Zhukovsky Research Centre which success-

fully achieves the objective of developing new composite materi-als and aircraft systems to enhance the competitiveness of Rus-sian aviation technologies”.

“A growing share of domestically produced systems, parts and accessories in the aviation industry could be demonstrated by the MS-21 project which is largely a breakthrough achievement. The localization is currently more than 50 percent and expected to reach 60 percent by the time the aircraft goes into the production chain”, Denis Manturov, Minister of Trade and Industry, said. “I have asked to use the potential of research centres to a maximum extent. Thanks to cooperation in the R&D area, we will be able to considerably save time involved in production of new aircraft”.

River was built in 2006. The bridge’s full length is 36 m, and its span is 24 m long; it is 3.2 m wide between the handrail axes. The span is connected to the pylons with four cables made by Frey-ssinet Co., France.

During an ordinary inspection in 2011, experts of the Techni-cal Oversight Department of the Gormost State Budget Institu-tion found numerous cracks in pylons and the span of the bridge. Such cracks might eventually lead to further corrosion of the re-inforcement bars and fracturing of the protective concrete layer.

BRIDGES IN M-5 URALS FEDERAL HIGHWAY TO BE EQUIPPED WITH COMPOSITE RAILS

Bridges in M-5 Urals federal highway will be equipped with new composite rails. The pilot project to install new types of rail involves the Penza, Ulyanovsk and Orenburg Regions crossed by the highway, and also the Saratov Region.

Composite rails will be installed in 14 bridges totalling 1.3 kil-ometres. As reported by the Kompozit holding company’s press service, these rails will be lightweight and resistant to corrosion and low temperatures. They will have no ice build-up in winter and will generally require much less frequent repair than metal rails. Moreover, the new rail will pose no threat for pedestrians, should there be a power line accident on the bridge.

Composite rails will replace metal ones in M-5 Urals federal highway as commissioned by the FKU Povolzhupravtodor. The pilot project was developed by the Nano Technology Composite Centre which is part of the Kompozit holding company.

According to the press service, composite rails are to be in-stalled in three bridges in the Saratov Region and nine bridges in

RT-KHIMKOMPOZIT TO COMPLETECREATION OF COMPOSITE CLUSTER

The RT-Khimkompozit holding company is about to set up a cluster for production of parts and accessories of polymer com-posite materials (PCM) for aircraft and space industry in the Kaluga Region.

The documents for legal formalization of this initiative are already put together and forwarded for registration. The cluster currently includes eight participants, with their number expect-ed to grow.

Manufacturing civil products is a non-core competence for major Russian composite companies engaged in high technology areas. The cluster to be created in Obninsk on the basis of the NPP Tekhnologia which is part of RT-Khimkomposit will allow to outsource civil market developments to third-party companies to organize production and marketing.

Regional authorities will inform sectoral enterprises of the cluster being set up and advise process participants on issues re-lated to documentation.

“Cluster development is today one of the priorities for the gov-ernment. Federal special programs make it possible to get addi-tional funds for production development. Creating a cluster gives an opportunity of access to resources required to upgrade and develop new products”, Anatoly Sotnikov, director of the Innova-tion Development Agency of the Kaluga Region, said.

NANOTECHNOLOGICAL CENTER OF COMPOSITES AND EVOPRO SIGN AGREEMENT TO PRODUCE COMPOSITE BUSES

Nanotechnological Center of Composites and Evopro signed

the agreement with the purpose of producing modular buses with composite body. Moscow Technopolis will accommodate produc-tion of self-supporting composite body, says the document. First batch of 50 buses will be produced in 2015.

The agreement was signed during II International Compos-ite Without Borders Conference held in the framework of Open Innovations Expo. Mikhail Stolyarov, General Director of Na-notechnological Center of Composites and Mr. Csaba Meszaros, President of Evopro Group signed the agreement.

Production of composite modules via vacuum infusion, RTM, and longfiber injectionwill be powered byNanotechnologicalCenter of Composites. In the mean time there will be assembled composite bodies. After that, parts of the bus will be sent to Hun-garyforfinalassembly,includinginstallationofengine,chassis,gluing in glasses, installation of other elements.

“Modular approach allows to produce wide range of vehicles in the most cost-effective way, from compact and maneuverable buses and trolley buses, which could be compared to mini-buses to capacious multi-section buses and trolley buses. Apart from properties of the body, a client will be able to choose type of pro-pulsion system: a bus can run on diesel, CNG or electricity”, said Csaba Meszaros, president of Evopro Group.

Self-supporting composite body allows to decrease weight of vehicle considerably as well as its fuel/power consumption, ex-haust fuels emission, as well as number of body parts. Compared to regular structural materials, for example, metals, composite materials have unique features: high strength, corrosion resist-ance, fatigue strength. These values several times exceed those of steel,whilecompositesaresignificantlylighter.

“Role of Nanotechnological center is not limited by manufac-

construction is scheduled for 2016, while its full completion - by 2024. Some traditional solutions cannot be applied in construc-tion due to proximity of ground water and their high alkalinity. In such aggressive conditions operation life of conventional steel rebarsisrathershort,whiletheirbasaltandglassfiberanalogues,lighter and reasonably priced, do not corrode and have compa-rable strength.

COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGIES FOR SHIPBUILDING

The unique designs of RT-ChemComposite open new possibilitiesModern shipbuilding requires advanced technologies, particu-

larly materials that can operate in a wide range of temperatures and corrosive environments. Scientists from RT-ChemComposite have had great success in this area, developing silicone fluidswith unique properties.

The resulting silicone fluids are used as bases for oils andgreases,operationalhydraulicfluids,coolants,shock-absorbingliquids, and instrument oils. They can remain in liquid form at temperatures ranging from -90 to +300 C.

The anti-adhesive lubricants also received high praise from professionals for the formation of structural components made of polymeric composites. They are introduced into the composition duringthecatalystcuring,formingatransparentfilmonthesur-
