Abstract
Advances in the scientific directions launched by A. A. Kovalsky, an outstanding expert in Physics and Physical Chemistry, participant of the works on the Atomic Project, the first Director of the Institute of Chemical Kinetics and Combustion SB RAS are considered. The works aimed at the development and investigation of the properties of new types of energy materials and inhibitors of combustion proceed on the basis of the notions on the mechanisms of ignition and combustion formulated by A. A. Kovalsky. Aerosol studies that were initiated within the framework of the Atomic Project for protection from irradiation formed the basis for the development of aerosol-based method to protect forests and agricultural plants from pests. Works initiated by Kovalsky gave rise to new aerosol-related directions: methods and instruments for measuring the characteristics of aerosol particles are under development, methods are elaborated for the generation of aerosol with necessary particle sizes and concentrations for various applications including nanoaerosol pharmaceutical forms, chemical properties and biological effects of nanosized substances are under investigation. Perspectives for further progress in these areas are outlined.
