Discoveries in the field of chemistry have changed the habitual way of life of people. The subject's contributions to biology, medicine, engineering, agriculture, among many other disciplines, have led to the development of cutting-edge technologies that have dramatically improved nutrition, communication, ways to treat illness and injury, and more. And the achievements of famous chemists cannot be overestimated, because without them the modern world would be completely different.

Turkmen scientists and their developments also made a great contribution to the latest achievements of modern chemistry. At the current level of human development, chemical discoveries have acquired great practical significance in various fields of activity. That is why innovations in the chemical industry often do not act in isolation, but in conjunction with other sciences, other fields of knowledge and practical areas: physics, biology, ecology, and such modern areas as waste disposal and alternative energy. In these areas, the discoveries of chemists are being especially actively implemented and are being applied in practice.

The Institute of Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan received this year 2 patents of the State Intellectual Property Service of the Ministry of Finance and Economy of Turkmenistan for the inventions “Cement with mineral additives” and “Composition of a detergent used to clean gas treatment facilities”. Such innovations from the portfolio of Turkmen scientists have become competitive products in the world market and import-substituting in the local market.

Today, Turkmen scientists are conducting research work to develop new and waste-free technologies based on local raw materials and hydrocarbons. For example, within the framework of the program "Scientific Methods for the Processing of Polymer and Plastic Materials", the institute's specialists developed a technology for collecting "nefras" liquid in a vacuum environment - an industrial and technical product used in various sectors of the economy and in everyday life as an organic solvent. It is also widely used in washing parts, removing conservation coatings, cleaning dirt and so on.

This product is obtained by condensation of oil bitumen, polymer waste, pyrolysis oil (pyrosmol), alkaline waste and rubber waste granules. The production of a new chemical compound was launched in the shops of “Nazarly gelejek”, and Turkmen scientists became the authors of the technological regulations.

Positive results were also obtained by scientists' research on the production of artificial chemicals from polymeric wastes of polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). We are talking about sintepon and geotextiles. The first material, for example, is used in the manufacture of insulating clothing linings, pillow stuffing, blankets, mattresses, and for various other technical purposes. And geotextiles are widely used in the construction of high-speed highways, gas and oil pipelines, airfields, railways, as well as construction sites for various purposes.

On Day of Science, annually celebrated in Turkmenistan on June 12, specialized scientific exhibitions will be held in the country, the exhibits of which will be the latest developments and inventions of Turkmen scientists. The holiday was established by the Decree of the President of Turkmenistan in 2008 and is designed to popularize science, identify talented scientists, and promote the development of scientific activities in the country. As National Leader Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov said: “Science and technology are the wings of the national economy. Increasing the intellectual, scientific and technical capabilities of the Turkmen society, their effective use is the main condition for the successful development of the country, bringing Turkmenistan into the ranks of the most advanced, economically prosperous states with a high standard of living for the people.”
