International trade fair Techtextil
Our colleagues will take part in the Techtextil trade fair in Frankfurt am Main from 21 to 22 June 2022. Assoc. Prof. Kováčik and Dr. Galmiz will present the results of the PLASMA NANOTEX project at the ELIIT stand, which was solved together with the Nafigate company in the period 09/2020-11/2021. The project concerned in-line plasma treatment of nanofiber products with emphasis on their filtration capabilities. Techtextil is a leading international trade fair focusing on technical textiles and nonwovens. Over 1,300 international exhibitors from 53 countries will take part in this year's Techtextil under the motto "Connecting the Future".
PLASMA NANOTEX, full name In-line plasma technology for a large throughput manufacturing of advanced nanofiber-based filter fabrics, is one of 25 partner projects (ie projects between a research institution and a small / medium company), which will be presented at the ELIIT stand in within the Techtextil trade fair. The project was financially supported under the first call together with 14 other projects, specifically in the innovation priority "Smart, high-performance materials". Projects from the first and second calls of the ELIIT project will be presented at the fair.
Basic information about the ELIIT project:
The European light industries innovation and technology (ELIIT) project was launched on 15 November 2019 and supports textile, clothing, leather and footwear (TCLF) SMEs in enhancing their competitiveness while helping them integrate new technologies in innovative or high added-value products, processes or services.
