The Special Issue of the journal Chimica Techno Acta includes papers presented at 8-th International Russian- Kazakhstan Conference “Chemical Technologies of Func- tional Materials” held at Al-Farabi Kazakh National Uni- versity, Almaty, Kazakhstan, 28–29 April 2022. The Conference was organized by Al-Farabi Kazakh Na- tional University (Almaty, Kazakhstan), Novosibirsk State Technical University (Novosibirsk, Russia) and Institute of Solid State Chemistry, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Novosibirsk, Russia). The Conference is traditional and held annually alter- nately in Russia and Kazakhstan. In 2022 the conference was hosted by Al-Farabi Kazakh National University (Al- maty, Kazakhstan), Professor Zh.K. Tuymebaev, Chairman of the Board – Rector of Al-Farabi Kazakh National Uni- versity, was the Chairmen of the Conference. Associate Professor Kh.S. Tassibekov, Professors N.F. Uvarov and E.A. Aubakirov were Deputy Chairmen of the Organizing Committee. The Conference Program included two sections: 1. Scientific basis for predicting the processes of syn- thesis, modification and manufacture of functional mate- rials. Investigation of characteristics of new functional materials. Environmental aspects of the production of functional materials. 2. Processes and apparatuses of chemical technologies. Physical and chemical studies of catalytic processes and catalysts of petrochemicals and oil refining. The conference was attended by 390 participants, in- cluding 85 young scientists and students, from 12 coun- tries, mainly Kazakhstan and Russia, which presented 8 plenary lectures, 72 oral reports and 53 electronic posters. The Organizing Committee has selected the best reports and recommended their submission as papers to this Spe- cial Issue. Guest editors: Nikolai F. Uvarov Ermek A.
