The Institute of Chemistry of New Materials offers consumers a technology for applying multilayer coatings to modify surgical meshes for the purpose of immobilizing mesenchymal stem cells on them in a viable state under a commercial agreement with technical assistance and is looking for partners to conclude a research and technical cooperation agreement to develop work in this scientific feild.

Ultra-thin coatings (thickness <100 nm) based on polysaccharides (chitosan, pectin, dextran, carboxymethylcellulose) ensure effective adhesion (attachment) of mesenchymal stem cells in a viable state. The relationship between the physicochemical characteristics of ultrathin biopolymer films and the ability of mesenchymal stem cells to form on their surface a monolayer culture of fibroblast-like cells with high viability (at least 95% of viable cells) has been established.

The developed multilayer coatings can be used for modification of surgical meshes in order to immobilize viable mesenchymal stem cells on them.

The relationship between the properties and composition of ultrathin biopolymer multilayer films and the adhesion and functioning of mesenchymal stem cells on them has been established. It has been proven that the key effect on cell adhesion is exerted by the elastic properties of multilayer films.

The Institute of Chemistry of New Materials is the leading institute in the Republic of Belarus and one of the leaders in fundamental and applied research in the field of creating thin-film and nanostructured organic materials, new composite materials with specified properties, methods for synthesizing new organic compounds as potential physiologically active substances.

Currently, the main objective of the Institute is to conduct scientific research in the field of high technologies for obtaining new chemical materials for various functional purposes, including:
- creating thin-film (including nanostructured) organic materials with specified properties;
- developing new composite materials with specified properties based on forest and petrochemical products and technologies for their production.

The scientific and scientific-technical activities of the Institute are also aimed at solving problems in the interests of enterprises: the Ministry of Industry, Belneftekhim Concern, Bellesbumprom Concern, State Military Industrial Committee, Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Ministry of Health and Belbiopharm Concern, RUE Cryptotech and the Minsk Printing Factory of the Goznak Department of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Belarus.

The Institute has high scientific and technical potential, has a modern research base, the latest experimental equipment, allowing to carry out complex scientific research in the areas of activity, is able to ensure high-quality performance of scientific research and development, practical development of results and conduct training of highly qualified scientific personnel.

Over the years of the Institute's existence, the results of scientific developments of the Institute of Chemistry of New Materials have been exported to Saudi Arabia, the Republic of Korea, China, India, Vietnam and other countries.

The Institute conducts research in broad international scientific cooperation with scientific centers of Russia, Azerbaijan, China, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, the USA, Poland, Germany, regularly holds international conferences on the problems of obtaining science-intensive low-tonnage chemical products of various functional purposes.
