Prof. Oleg L. Figovsky is the founder, Director R&D of International Nanotechnology Research Centre “Polymate” (see at: http://www.polymateltd.com/), where he is carrying now many research works in nanostructured corrosion resistant composite materials and protective coatings based on polymer and silicate matrix. In 1982 he elaborated the first nanostructured anticorrosion composite materials based LG-matrix, where nanoparticles are forming during technological process by hydrolysis of TFS. Last his elaborations are nanostructured nonisocyanate polyurethanes, nanocellulose and nanocomposites based on epoxy-rubber binders.
Novel nanotechnologies invented by prof. Figovsky were a base for establishing a few of industrial production in USA, Canada, China, Russia and Israel.
He is also the President of IAI (Israel), member of European Academy of Sciences, Foreign Members of two Russian Academies of Sciences (REA & RAACS), the chairman of the UNESCO chair “Green Chemistry”. For few of his inventions in nanotechnologies he received gold and silver medals at the IENA-98 (Nurnberg, Germany).
From 1999 he is the editor-in-chief of the journal “Scientific Israel – Technological Advantages”, from 2008 – of the “Open Corrosion Journal” and from 2010 the journal "Resent patents on Corrosion Science".
In 2006 he received the Gold Angel Prize at the “Genious-2006” exhibition and in 2007 NASA Nanotech Briefs®’ Nano 50™ Award, Prof. Figovsky had many times keynote lectures, including for National Investment Banking Association (see at: http://www.nibanet.org/Figovsky-slideshow.html
For last ten years prof. Figovsky was a chief scientific adviser for 3 investment institutions.
Prof. Figovsky is now Director R&D of US investment and transfer technology company “NanoTech Industries, Inc.” (see at: http://www.nanotechindustriesinc.com/index.php). Prof. Oleg L. Figovsky has more than 500 patents and has published and lectured extensively. He is one of authors of the Encyclopedia of Surface and Colloid Science, (http://www.dekker.com/sdek/issues~db=enc~content=t713172975)
Prof. Figovsky was elected as a Presidium member of Russian Nanotechnology Society (2008). During last a few of years prof. Figovsky carrying his reviews as an expert of Israeli Ministry of Industry & Trade (BASHAN program), European Committee (7 framework program) and RusNano (Russia). He is a honorary professor of Voronezh University (VGASU) and Kazan State National Research Technical University. In 2009 prof. Figovsky became the VIP-expert of Russian Foundation for small and middle business.
