2. Having developed its vision for the role the Russian
Federation could play in thegrowing global nanotechnology industry,
in 2007 the Russian government createdstate corporation Russian
Corporation of Nanotechnologies to execute its strategiesand to
build infrastructure for innovation. In March 2011, for
transparency andeffectiveness within the global high-tech
investment community, the corporationwas reorganized as open
joint-stock company RUSNANO and the non-commercialFund for
Infrastructure and Educational Programs.The primary goal of RUSNANO
is to commercialize nanotechnology advances throughco-investment in
projects with substantial economic potential. The Governmentof the
Russian Federation owns 100 percent of the shares in RUSNANO. The
Fundfor Infrastructure and Educational Programs is aimed at
creating infrastructure forinnovation in the country.The most
important objectives in RUSNANOs work remain unchanged: by 2015
thevalue of nano-enabled products manufactured by companies in
which RUSNANOinvests is to reach or exceed 300 billion rubles; the
aggregate worth of the entireRussian nanoindustrys output is to
reach 900 billion rubles.State corporation Russian Corporation of

forms, reflecting the diversity of the companies with which RUSNANO
works: small-budget, sector- specific, and international funds. By
establishing regional small-budget funds, we expect to impact the
evolvement of nanotechnology in the subjects of the Russian
Federation and encourage nanotech dispersal across our large
country. In the international arena, RUSNANO and international
leader Draper Fisher Jurvetson have created an international

ferro-phosphate batteries used in electric vehicles, primarily
buses with electric motors. The batteries have the great advantage
of being free of memory effect after numerous charge and discharge
cycles. When used in public transportation, the batteries guarantee
a 350-kilometer energy reserve after one charge. These batteries
can be given a quick recharge in only 30 minutes. In the future,

producers of white LEDs,Core CdSe, CdSas quantum dots reduce the
products cost andincrease brightness of the lights. They may be
usedShell ZnS, CdS, ZnSein future medical applications, including
oncologicAmphiphilic surface treatment.Colloidal quantum dots are
nanosizedsemiconducting crystal with florescent properties,which,
because of their small size, also exhibitquantum properties that
are characteristicof individual molecules and not inherent
tomacroscopic semiconductors. Absorbing radiantenergy in the
broadband, they emit a narrowspectrum of light waves whose length
dependsupon the size of the particle. Quantum dots fromone material
but of different sizes glow withdifferent colors. In comparison
with traditionalflorescent materials, the quantum dots
possessgreater photostability, and their color does notdeteriorate
over several years.www.quantum-dots.ru 23

Defence, Emergencies and Disaster 2010 2013 2015 Relief of the
Russian Federation reports that firesin the country cause damages
of 12 billion rublesannually. It is imperative to reduce the
flammabilityof products and lower smoke and poisonous gasesfrom
polymers used in construction, electronics,and many other
industries. Flame retardants willdecrease mortality, as most deaths
during fires arecaused by poisoning from toxic combustion. To date,
Russia has not had its own productionof high-quality flame
retardants. The entire amount of aluminum trihydrate and magnesium
hydroxide5,000 tons to 6,000 tonsis imported. A portion of the
goods produced will be sold as exports and areexpected to garner a
strong position in the market for halogen-free flame
retardants.Other magnesium-base chemicals will also beproduced:
ultrapure magnesium oxide for steeltransformers and industrial
rubber goods andmagnesium chloride for oil and gas

film and flexible packagingmaterials based on the film. This
material isdesigned mainly for packaging of food,
householdchemicals, cosmetics, and pet food. High-barrierflexible
film is heat resistant, making it possibleto process contents in
hot or cold temperatureregimes and to heat products in microwave
ovenswithout unwrapping them. Because of its
barriercharacteristics, preservatives can be
