Research Group
Plasma nanotechnologies and bioapplications

We are thrilled to share that our bilateral research project PlasmaMix-BioMat, in collaboration with esteemed colleagues from Slovenia – led by Sebastian Dahle and his team – has been officially supported by both the GAČR and ARIS funding agencies! Our team leader, Zlata Kelar Tučeková, along with Michal Pazderka, is currently in Slovenia for an in-person kick-off meeting to launch this promising cooperation.

Sandra Ďurčányová is a doctoral student from the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics, Comenius University. She is on a research stay at DPPT and CEPLANT center of SCI MUNI with the support of the National Scholarship Programme of the Slovak Republic. In Brno, she works with dr. Monika Stupavská. In her dissertation thesis, she researches plasma polymerization at atmospheric pressure. Using plasma, she deposits thin functional films made of hexamethyldisiloxane and investigates their properties.

Our PhD student, František Zelenák, is now on Erasmus+ at the Jozef Stefan Institute in Slovenia, where he is working on the preparation of graphene materials by RF plasma where the carbon is deposited from propane. He tests the prepared samples in supercapacitors. In preparation he optimizes the deposition parameters to prepare supercapacitors with the best properties. As part of his dissertation research in Brno, František also focuses on graphene materials, under the supervision of dr. Richard Krumpolec.
