A scientific seminar was held at the Department of Technological Machines and Transport as part of the events dedicated to the 30th anniversary of Independence of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The seminar was attended by scientists and undergraduates of the university departments. Associate Professor of the Department, Candidate of Technical Sciences Ashkeev Zhasulan Amanzholovich made a report on the topic «Methods for obtaining continuous long-dimensional bulk metallic nanomaterials». In the course of the report, the existing and promising methods of pressure treatment of metals used to produce nanomaterials are presented. The developments of scientists of our university are particularly noted. The report aroused the lively interest of those present and developed into a constructive discussion. The scientists of the department Romanov V.I., Bestembek E.S. and Nogaev K.A. expressed their opinions on the topic of the seminar. A young scientist of the department Abishkenov M.Zh. Made a statement clarifying some of the provisions of the report. The participants noted that the seminar helped to better understand the problems and possibilities of developing methods for obtaining metallic nanomaterials, as well as to form an understanding of the main processes accompanying the formation of nanostructures.
