Studies on the use of energetic ion beams for material modification have been initiated originally within the Manhattan project and have been continuously developed since then. The consecutive steps were devoted to the studies of ion implantation into semiconductors, metals, ceramics and, most recently, organic materials. One of the latest areas of applications is modification of elastomers, commonly known as rubbers. In the present paper the results of the studies on structural and functional properties of irradiated elastomers will be presented with the special emphasis on the materials used in aviation and military applications. Among the structural modifications, a massive loss of hydrogen atoms appears as the most peculiar characteristic of irradiated elastomers. Functional properties of irradiated rubbers: microhardness and friction coefficient, will be presented and application potential of the materials discussed.

We studied synthesis and crystal growth of Bi_2Te_3, Bi_2Se_3 and Bi_2Te_2Se compounds by means of vertical Bridgman method. Crystals were grown from stoichiometric melts and under different molar ratio of Bi:Te, Bi:Se or Bi:Te:Se. The obtained crystals were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and the Hall effect measurements. Some of the samples demonstrated insulating bulk behavior, by means of resistivity versus temperature measurements.
