In the first part [1] we discussed the structural and physicochemical properties of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with the emphasis on TUBALL™ produced by OCSiAl. This part focuses on the applications of Tuball capitalizing on its unique properties. We start with discussing the methods for dispersing SWCNTs in various media suitable for maximizing their positive effect on the mechanical, electrical, and other functional properties of the composites. It follows by the examples of applications of Tuball in materials for batteries, thermosets, thermoplastics, and elastomers, most of which employ commercially produced liquid and semisolid dispersions offered by OCSiAl. This demonstrates the real versatility of Tuball augmentation for improvement of electrical and mechanical properties of various materials and should stimulate its wide application.

Главный вопрос данной статьи: вследствие каких факторов сформировалась "скандинавская" система местного самоуправления в Швеции и Финляндии? В статье рассматривается тип формы местного самоуправления, сложившийся с течением времени в Швеции и Финляндии, для которого характерна комбинация широкой автономии общественных органов власти. Анализ опыта организации муниципальных учреждений, учитывающий исторические, демографические и географические особенности стран, позволяет сделать вывод, что с течением времени разработан единый тип формы местного самоуправления для Швеции и Финляндии.

A consequence of the rapid growth in production is the intensive during recent decades an atmosphere saturation of cities by gaseous and waste dust. A necessary tool for monitoring the state of the air basin is the monitoring of ambient air, the results of which are extremely important and necessary for the sustainable development of the environment. The best means to work with a wide variety of data are geo-information systems. Among the components of the biosphere's living matter the most important factor of neutralization of the gaseous toxicants is the vegetation, especially trees and bushes.
