Scientific relations with domestic scientific organizations and the international scientific community

As part of the branch of the department, joint research is being carried out with The State Scientific Institution «V.A.Belyi Metal-Polymer Research Institute of National Academy of Sciences of Belarus» (MPRI) , the results of which are presented in joint publications. Graduate students of the department use laboratory equipment and MPRI  library funds.

Together with the Soligorsk Institute for Resource Saving Problems, research is being carried out to develop friction material for vehicle brakes, to improve the composition of friction material for a vibration damper of a locomotive — studies are being conducted on the basis of fulfilling business contracts.

Contracts with the Kaunas University of Technology, (Kaunas, Lithuania), the Nanjing University of Science and the Technology (Nanjing, China) on scientific and technical cooperation.
