About Bakhtiyar S. SadykovNina N. MofaTlek A. KetegenovZulkhair A. Mansurov

Zulkhair A. Mansurov is Professor at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Kazakhstan, and supervisor of the Institute of Combustion Problems. His scientific work includes the investigation of the kinetics and mechanisms of hydrocarbon combustion, soot formation, nanotechnology, petrochemistry, and carbon nanomaterials. He is the editor-in-chief of Eurasian Chemico-Technological Journal (English, indexed at Scopus), Combustion, and Plasma Chemistry.

Nina N. Mofa (10.04.1946–08.16.2021) was Head of the Laboratory of Mechanochemical Processes, Institute of Combustion Problems. The focus of the laboratory was the technological development of various inorganic and composite materials both in the powdered form and as shaped products using all types of technological methods, including high-temperature sintering, self-propagating high-temperature synthesis, and mechanochemical synthesis. Prof. Mofa had authored 4 monographs and more than 300 scientific publications.

Tlek A. Ketegenov is General Director of the Institute of Combustion Problems and Professor at al-Farabi Kazakh National University. His research interests are applied mechanochemistry (mechanochemical beneficiation of minerals, production of nanocomposites materials), combustion and explosion processes, issues of metal leaching, and testing of protective polymer coatings.

Bakhtiyar S. Sadykov is a senior researcher at the Laboratory of Mechanochemical Processes of the Institute of Combustion Problems and a senior lecturer at the Faculty of Physics and Technology of al-Farabi Kazakh National University. His main scientific interest is focused on the fundamental research on the processes of crushing and mechanical synthesis of new nanostructured compositions.
