Abstract
We live in a dynamic time and the need for evolution in architecture is inevitable. With the advent of new generations and the development of technological progress, modern styles, ideas, technologies and materials appear.
The purpose of the article is to explore new materials that promote innovation and renewal, which can be used in biodirectional architecture. The main types of biotechnological materials are identified, a forecast for the future formation is given, based on the development and design trends.
The main results of the study are to identify the vector of development of the natural approach in ar-chitecture. The value of the acquired knowledge lies in the fact that biotechnological materials are aimed at improving the quality of architecture and its harmonious coexistence with nature. The appli-cation of existing and new biotechnological materials will improve the urban fabric.

Study of the plasma-electrolyte process for producing titanium oxide nanoparticles

https://doi.org/10.58224/2618-7183-2022-5-5-70-79
Abstract
The work is devoted to the investigation of the process of obtaining titanium oxide nanoparticles by burning high voltage DC gas discharge in an argon atmosphere when an aqueous solution is used as one of the electrodes. It was found that using an aqueous glycine solution in an inert gas medium, the plasma-electrolyte process using a streamer discharge is well suited for producing titanium oxide nanoparticles. An important regularity of particle size decrease with the increase of argon pressure in the chamber was revealed. Thus, when the pressure is increased from 1 MPa to 3 MPa, a sharp decrease in the average particle size from 62 nm to 16 nm is observed, while the changes in the aver-age particle size are not cardinal already in the process of pressure increase up to 5 MPa. A narrowing of the dispersion composition scatter with increasing pressure for 1 MPa - ± 40 nm, 3 MPa - ± 20 nm and 5 MPa - ± 8 nm was determined. The presence of titanium oxide particles was confirmed on the basis of plasmon resonance detection at 224, 230 and 235 nm.

ANALYSIS OF THE FACTORS INFLUENCING THE CHOICE OF INSULATION SYSTEMS OF EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

https://doi.org/10.34031/2618-7183-2019-2-1-24-31
Abstract
The article raises the problem of improving the energy efficiency of buildings in operation with a constant increase in energy prices, which is now becoming increasingly important. The analysis of the design deci-sions of the buildings of educational institutions of Donetsk region was carried out; the main typical series of the region were highlighted and given. The issues and the factors affecting the heat and moisture characteristics of enclosing structures of educational institutions were discussed. The values of resistance to heat transfer for the most common standard series of secondary schools are given. The modeling of temperature fields of nodes of public buildings of standard series was made. The most unfavorable design solutions of serial buildings were identified by the following factors: the temperature of the inner surface of the outer enclosures and the temperature difference between the average temperature at the surface and the air temperature in the room. Possible ways of thermo-modernization of such buildings with consideration of the requirements for temperature and breathability are considered. The influence of heat-conducting inclusions on the heat-moisture regime of external enclosing structures during partial and full thermal modernization is estimated. The analysis of various methods and ways of warming the buildings of educational institutions are performed. The advantages and disadvantages of the proposed options from an economic point of view are indicated, as well as on the basis of the requirements of fire regulations.
