About the author
Oleg Figovsky is the founder of the Polymate Ltd.-International Nanotechnology Research Centre (http://polymateltd.com) and its director of R&D, where he is working on research in nanostructured corrosion resistant composite materials and protective coatings based on a polymer and silicate matrix. Novel nanotechnologies invented by Prof. O. Figovsky were the basis for establishing industrial production in the US, Canada, China, Mexico, Russia, and Israel. He is a member of the European Academy of sciences, two Russian academies of sciences (RAASN and REA) and head of the UNESCO Chair "Green Chemistry." For his inventions in nanotechnologies he was awarded gold and silver medals at IENA-98 and the Gold Angel Prize at the Genius 2006 exhibition. Prof. O. Figovsky has authored books, more than 300 scientific articles and 500 patents.
Dmitry Beilin is head of the laboratory at the Polymate Ltd.-International Nanotechnology Research Center (http://polymateltd.com). His fields of interest include structural theory, thin-walled space structures, NDT diagnostics in industry and construction, and the strength of polymer composite materials. Dr. Beilin has authored books, more than 100 scientific articles and holds 5 patents.
