Uzbek scientist's nanocarbon achievement: Topul

Uzbek scientists are working on combining basalt and nanocarbon. This technology aims to increase the strength and long-term durability of construction materials.

The nanocarbon called "Topul," created by Professor Tolqin Pulatov, can be used not only in the construction sector but also in many other fields such as medicine, pharmaceuticals, and water purification. According to the scientist, this multi-layer nanocarbon is compatible with biotechnology and is safe.

He obtained a patent from the intellectual property agency by synthesizing "Topul." Tolqin Pulatov has worked on graphene—the thinnest and strongest material made of carbon atoms.

He improved the structure of graphene, creating a material with controlled thickness and internal structure. This material can be used as an electrical conductor or as an insulator.

Moreover, "Topul" is especially effective in water purification. It not only traps heavy metals but also eliminates microorganisms and parasites.

Additionally, "Topul" makes it possible to multiply the shelf life of food products several times. For example, if a small amount of "Topul" is added to dairy products, their shelf life increases significantly.

This can bring major breakthroughs in the food industry and agriculture. The scientist's research shows that by adding only 1.5% "Topul" to basalt mixtures, the strength of concrete and basalt materials increases by one third.

As a result, the service life of structures built with such materials can be extended from the usual 50 years up to 200 years. This is especially important in the construction of bridges, roads, and industrial facilities.
