Combined method which allows analyzing parameters of the nanoscale atomic and electronic structure of materials relying on three different methods (x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAFS), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy) was developed. The method was applied for the study of nickel oxide nanoparticles, which serve as an efficient catalyst for the artificial photosynthesis process.

  Due to the increasing requirements of modern building materials increased interest in energy-efficient building materials. The dependence of the viscoplastic properties of slurries for foam concrete production on the composition and properties of the components of mix. To determine the regulatory properties of cement-sand slurries should consider the state of the water in a dispersed system.

  In article negative influence of polymeric construction materials on a human body and surrounding his environment is shown, and also results of earlier carried out tests are given. The construction material – fiberfoamconcrete, which proved as a material possessing low heat conductivity, at the expense of strong porous structure of mezhporovy partitions is revealed modern constructional and heatinsulating.

The work investigated the cathode intercalation process alkali metal platinum under the influence of the alternating pulse current of aqueous and non-aqueous solutions containing alkali metal cations. By means of the method of pulse chronopotentiometry found that processes taking place at the platinum cathode polarization in water (neutral and alkaline) and in non-aqueous electrolytes include electrochemical adsorption and intercalation of solvent molecules into the adsorption layer of alkali metal ions. When this surface is oxidized in the intercalation platinum milder than pure platinum.

Statement of the problem. Preparation of high-strength foam concrete in construction allows for energy and resource conservation. Water covers more than 50% of their dense component and on its properties depend strongly on structural properties of foam concrete, is not fully explored.
Results. The effect of mixing water of low temperature on the structure and properties of constructive penofibrobetonov. Recommendations on the account in the calculation of reinforced concrete elements elevated structural properties and deformation diagrams penofibrobetonov by mixing water setback.
Conclusions. Using low temperature mixing water improves the structure, increases the strength, deformability and elastic modulus, as well as changes of the deformation diagram fibropenobetonov.
Keywords: fibropenobetona, foam, water temperature mixing, macroporosity, economic efficiency, technical and economic assessment.
