A visit from FPT in Púchov within the OPEN ACCESS of the Ceplant center
Our colleagues welcomed a visit from the Faculty of Industrial Technologies in Púchov (FPT), Trenčianskej univerzity Alexandra Dubčeka v Trenčíne, as a part of the open access activities of the Ceplant center at the end of March. We were visited by its dean, prof. Darina Ondrušová, together with the head of the Department of Materials Technologies and Environment, prof. Mariana Pajtášová and PhD student Ing. Silvia Ďurišová. The aim of the visit was plasma treatment of non-vulcanized rubber and XPS analysis of samples treated in this way. In addition to the experiments, there was also time for an excursion to the laboratories of electron spectroscopy and SIMS and MALDI mass techniques.
We hope that the results of the experiments will be beneficial and we will continue the cooperation we have started. We are pleased that we could help colleagues from FPT in Púchov in their research within the OPEN ACCESS mode of the Ceplant center. The infrastructure of the Ceplant center is available to all external users from the academic sphere free of charge. Terms and conditions and the application form can be found here.
