Vacuum components for high-end applications VAT Vacuumvalves AG was founded in 1964 by Siegfried Schertler in the town of Flawil next to St.Gallen (Switzerland). Later the company moved its premises to Haag in the municipality of Sennwald in the Rhine valley. In the beginning the market focus was on scientific research. At present, VAT is a global leader in the development and manufacturing of vacuum valves, modules, bellows, and related services for the semiconductor and vacuum coating industries as well as for the research sector. The company employs over 1,100 people worldwide with a fifth of the staff working in research and product development. Their views on the challenges of the market and strong points of the company share Ronald Pschenitschnigg, Head of Global Services, Urs Gantner, Head of Business Unit SEMI, and Dr. Stefan Pleier, Head of Product Management & Development.

Mechanical properties study of surface layers of the golf ball structure The mechanical properties of the structural elements forming the near-surface volume of a golf ball were studied by instrumental indentation. The dependences of mechanical properties on the depth, and also morphology and roughness of the surface are defined.

Structurally-modified wood Traditional, environmentally friendly materials, including wood, currently attract more and more interest worldwide. This is due to not only environmental friendliness of wood as a natural material, but due to the fact that modern technologies allow to significantly improve its properties.

Tribological properties of nanostructured boehmite A study was conducted to estimate the structure, phase
and chemical composition, and thermal properties of boehmite obtained by hydrothermal synthesis. Tribological properties, anti-friction, anti-wear and antiwelding properties were estimated. The possibility of using nanostructured boehmite for running-in of diesel engine was shown.

Promising projects in nanotechnologies
Zelenograd Nanotechnology Center: nontrivial high-tech solutions
One of the trends in contemporary microelectronics is the development of smart systems, which are not only applied in industry, but also shape the digital environment of our daily life. The number of new devices and gadgets is augmenting every year with an increasingly easier integration into one single system. Their creation requires not only miniaturization of microelectronic devices, but also the capacity to respond quickly to market needs and transform ideas into marketed products. The latter is particularly effective with small companies, which are proactive, market-informed, demand-oriented and, most importantly, ready to assimilate approaches for transforming scientific ideas into businesses. However, they need developed infrastructure, i.e. people, ideas, technology and science need to be brought together onto one platform. Such infrastructure is offered by Zelenograd Nanotechnology Center (ZNTC). Anatoly Kovalev, the General Director of the Center, told us about their support and development of high-tech projects.
