Research work on the project

In accordance with the 2025 schedule for IRN project AR26104151, «Development of Technology for Modifying Petroleum Bitumen and Asphalt Concrete with Rubber-Polymer Composites»

research team members A.Ch. Bussurmanova, PhD in Chemistry and Associate Professor of the Department of Natural Sciences; A.Sh. Akkenzheyeva, PhD in Engineering and Associate Professor of the Department of Geology and Petrochemical Engineering; and U.K. Yensegenova, PhD student, visited to the Institute of Combustion Problems (Almaty) from November 6 to 9, 2025, to exchange scientific and practical experience and conduct experiments with new equipment, specifically, an RTFOT furnace for studying bitumen wear.

During the internship, IR spectra of polymer waste were obtained and the physical and mechanical properties of primary and recycled polyethylene were determined.
