Iranian Scientists Produce Nanocomposite to Meet Needs of Hi-Tech, Aerospace Industries
“The costs of making and producing composites by using the four main materials of metal, ceramic, polymer and composite is very high, and therefore, they have not been developed much in Iran and are only used in high-tech and advanced industries like aviation industry,” Abolfazl Abbasi, a researcher of the project, told ANA.
“But carbon-carbon composite is used in advanced countries in common equipment like rims, brake discs and cars of famous companies,” he added.
Noting that advanced countries do not provide information about these high-tech products in the form of patents and articles, Abbasi said, “We can claim that our product has also received good results by passing various tests.”
“The use of this product is in multi-faceted and multi-dimensional industries,” he added.
In a relevant development in November, specialists at an Iranian firm managed to find a new method to use nanocomposites to treat spent caustic discharged from refineries and petrochemical companies.
“We produce membrane contactors by using nanocomposite technology. Our technology is a novel technology in the world and we have some patents, PCT patents and US patents,” Hassan Farrokhzad, a director of Setaregan Noavar Sepehr Pars company, told ANA.
“By this technology, we can introduce the gases inside the water and it is very useful for treatment of spent caustic which is a discharged liquid from refineries and petrochemical companies and we can treat this spent caustic in the normal and ambient temperature and it is one of the advantages of this technology compared to other technologies used in the US and Germany,” he added.
“We have plans to export our products but at the moment we are using this technology in the Iranian refineries and petrochemical companies," Farrokhzad noted.
