(MDPI, Basel, Switzerland, 2025) Kulikov, Andrii; Sukhyy, Kostyantyn M.; Yeromin, Oleksandr O.; Fedak, Marcel; Prokopenko, Olena M.; Sukha, Iryna V.; Poloz, Oleksii; Mikats, Oleh; Hrebik, Tomas; Kulikova, Olha; Lopusniak, Martin
ENG: Low-viscosity epoxy-containing diluents are used to reduce the initial viscosity of highly filled, wear-resistant epoxy systems and to improve filler wetting and dispersion. This study determined physical parameters by an atomic-increment approach and electronic descriptors using the Parametric Method 3 (PM3) semi-empirical method. Clear relationships were established between the effective molar cohesion energy and the solubility parameter with van der Waals volume. Linear dependencies were also obtained between the diluent surface tension and spreading coefficients on model high-hardness fillers, including silicon carbide, boron carbide, and normal corundum. The activity of epoxy diluents depends on the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy. These diluents influence processing and the final physical and mechanical properties of composites, making their selection critical for strength, hardness, and wear resistance. Computational analysis enables prediction of diluent behavior, reducing experimental time and cost. Integrating physical and quantum-chemical data into epoxy diluent design accelerates the search for optimal components and improves production of durable, high-performance epoxy composites.
Development of Rare Earth Metal-Modified Heat-Resistant Coatings for Gas Turbine Blades
(Ukrainian State University of Chemical Technology, Dnipro, 2024) Yefanov, V. S.; Gnatenko, M. O.; Laptieva, H. M.; Basov, Y. F.; Sukhyy, Kostyantyn M.; Kovalyov, Stanislav V.; Popov, S. M.
ENG: This paper presents an investigation into the influence of Y-La and Y-Hf-La modifiers on the structure and properties of Ni-Cr-Al consumable cathodes used for heat-resistant coatings on turbine blades via the arc-ion plating method. The study shows that the introduction of these modifiers positively affects the structure formation process of the consumable cathodes. The modifiers contribute to a higher degree of microstructural homogeneity in the cathodes, achieved through the formation of nanosized stabilizing phases between the alloying elements and the rare earth metal groups. This study experimentally confirms that Ni-Cr-Al coatings produced with the Y-La and Y-Hf-La modified cathodes outperform traditional Y-only modified coatings in oxidation tests. Structural analysis of the coatings reveals that samples with Y-Hf-La exhibit greater homogeneity and fewer defects, which is particularly important when depositing coatings with large thicknesses (over 40 µm). It was found that the introduction of the Y-Hf-La complex enables the application of coatings up to 90 µm thick by forming a less defective structure. Additionally, it has been established that Y-Hf-La modification enhances the adhesion of the coating to the substrate and allows for maximum uniformity in the distribution of alloying elements throughout the entire thickness of the applied coating.
Influence of Solid-State Polycondensation Conditions on the Intrinsic Viscosity of Recycled Poly(Ethylene Terephthalatе)
(Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, 2026) Chervakov, Denys O.; Ved, Viktor V.; Fedan, V. V.; Sukhyy, Kostyantyn M.; Chervakov, Oleh V.
ENG: The study investigates the influence of solid-state polycondensation (SSP) conditions on the change in intrinsic viscosity (IV) of recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) processed via a bottle-to-bottle technology. Experimental work was carried out within the temperature range of 110–1600C while varying the duration of SSP. It was found that during SSP at 110–1300C, the intrinsic viscosity of PET-BTB increased by 23–34%, whereas the melt flow index (MFI) decreased by up to 54%, indicating a nonlinear relationship between IV and MFI. A mathematical model was proposed to predict IV as a function of temperature, SSP duration, and MFI value. Validation of the model revealed a deviation not exceeding 6%, which confirms its high practical reliability. The proposed approach enables a reduction in the scope of experimental work required for optimizing SSP conditions of recycled PET and assessing its recyclability toward products with the desired level of physical and mechanical properties.
The Influence of Solid-State Polycondensation of Polyethylene Terephthalate on Its Rheological Properties
(Ukrainian State University of Chemical Technology, Dnipro, 2024) Chervakov, Denys O.; Ved, V. V.; Fedan, V. V.; Sukhyy, Kostyantyn M.; Chervakov, Oleh V.
ENG: The influence of solid-state polycondensation conditions on the rheological properties of polyethylene terephthalate was determined. Mathematical models describing the dependence of the melt flow rate of both virgin and recycled polyethylene terephthalate on the time and temperature of the solid-state polycondensation process were developed. A correlation between the melt flow rate and the average molecular weight of polyethylene terephthalate was demonstrated. Experimental studies showed that conducting solid-state polycondensation of recycled polyethylene terephthalate at temperatures ranging from 130 оC to 160 оC for 3 hours produces polymeric materials with higher molecular weight and, consequently, improved performance properties.

ENG: Promising directions of synthesis from renewable vegetable oil raw materials of monomeric and oligomeric oleochemical products are considered: modified triglycerides as ingredients of special-purpose polymer compositions; fatty alcohols, esters and amides of fatty acids as surfactants in detergents, cosmetics, paints, pharmaceuticals, as ecological fuel; polyols and hydroxyl-containing oligomers for the synthesis of polyurethane, polyesteramide, polyurethaneamide binders and coatings with anti-corrosion and antimicrobial properties. The synthesis routes of fatty acid amides, in particular hydroxyl-containing ones with a functionality of 2 or more, as starting compounds for promising polyesteramides are considered in detail. The strategy of synthesis from vegetable oils of saturated polyols with primary hydroxyl groups as promising components for environmentally friendly paint and varnish compositions is considered. Data on the synthesis and properties of polyurethaneamides, polyesteramides and metal-containing derivatives based on them are presented. For each product type an analysis was made of the state of development of a particular technology, as well as future prospects and existing barriers to their development. The possibility of using metal-containing polymers to create biodegradable materials and coatings with hydrophobic properties and antimicrobial activity was shown.
Prediction of the Properties of High-Energy Polymer Materials Based on Oleochemical Products
(Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Dnipro, 2025) Varlan, K.Ye.; Chervakov, Oleh V.; Sukhyy, Kostyantyn M.; Belyanovskaya, Elena A.
ENG: A series of oleochemical products, namely amide derivatives of fatty acids from vegetable oils based on diethanolamine, diethylenetriamine, piperazine, and morpholine, was synthesized. The synthesized products are considered as potential components of mixed solid missile fuels: plasticizers, surfactants, and combustion regulators. To evaluate their applicability, the predicted energy characteristics of mixed compositions containing the synthesized oleochemical products were calculated, including the composition of transformation products, heat of combustion, combustion temperature, and specific volume of combustion products. The method of calculation is presented. The obtained characteristics of the compositions based on oleochemical products are comparable to the calculated values for a known composition based on liquid rubber and dioctyl adipate plasticizer: heat of combustion of 5860 kJ/kg, combustion temperature of 3450 K, and specific volume of combustion products of 0.818 m3/kg.

Properties of Zr–Ti–Nb and Ti–Al–V Alloys
(Ukrainian State University of Chemical Technology, Dnipro, 2024) Kovalyov, Stanislav V.; Ovchynnykov, O. V.; Sukhyy, Kostyantyn M.; Yefanov, V. S.; Kalinichenko, Oleh O.; Koval’ova, N. V.
ENG: This article is devoted to studying the properties of the new Zr–Ti–Nb alloy and comparing it with the well-known Ti–Al–V alloy (ÂÒ-6, Grade 5 analog). The properties were analyzed through chemical composition determination and corrosion resistance assessment. The Zr–Ti–Nb alloy does not contain the toxic impurities present in the Ti–Al–V alloy, specifically aluminum and vanadium. Structural studies were conducted to identify the phases (X-ray diffraction analysis) and their composition using scanning electron microscopy. The microstructure and phase composition of the Zr–Ti–Nb alloy indicated a uniform distribution of elements throughout the alloy. The wetting angle of the Zr–Ti–Nb alloy with an oxide layer is significantly smaller than that of the Ti–Al–V alloy, suggesting greater hydrophilicity. Physical research methods included determining density, reflectivity, and electrical conductivity. Mechanical properties were examined by determining the elastic modulus, strength limit, yield strength, longitudinal elongation, transverse contraction, and microhardness. Notably, the elastic modulus of the Zr–Ti–Nb alloy is 26.4 GPa, similar to that of cortical bone, in contrast to the Ti–Al–V alloy, which has an elastic modulus of 110–140 GPa. The obtained data indicate that the superior chemical and mechanical properties of the Zr–Ti–Nb alloy make it suitable for medical applications.

(MM Publishing s.r.o., Praha, Czechia, 2023) Rimar, Miroslav; Chervakov, Denys O.; Fedak, Marcel; Kulikov, Andrii; Kulikova, Olha; Sukhyy, Kostyantyn M.; Chervakov, Oleh V.; Bentsionov, Igor; Sverdlikovska, Olga S.; Belyanovskaya, Elena; Yeromin, Oleksandr O.; Prokopenko, Olena M.
ENG: It has been experimentally confirmed that polyethylene terephthalate during its processing into products destruct without carrying out the process of solid-phase polycondensation. The conditions for both primary and secondary polyethylene terephthalate have been determined for carrying out the process of solid-phase polycondensation for its effective reaction extrusion with chain extenders. To confirm the effectiveness of the parameters of the solid-phase polycondensation process of polyethylene terephthalate, its reaction extrusion was carried out with commercially available chain extenders of the diepoxide class. The optimal content of chain extenders of the diepoxide class for changing the complex of physical, mechanical and rheological properties of polyethylene terephthalate modified by them was determined. It allows obtaining materials with an increased by 2.2 times characteristic viscosity.
