Institute of super-hard materials
was founded in 1961 focusing on R&D of synthesis of
super-hard materials, including synthetic diamonds,
and manufacturing tools based on these materials.
Later the scope of the Institute R&D included composite
materials based on various matrix materials and super-hard
strengthening components.
