On Tuesday, April 26, 2022, we participated in the Proof of Concept (PoC) conference organised by the Technology Transfer Office (TTO) of Masaryk University. Dr. David Pavliňák presented the project dealing with plasma-assisted treatment of nanofibers for filtration purposes in the form of a short lecture. Two other projects regarding the optimisation of plasma treatment of packaging materials used in the meat industry; and plasma modification of aerogels based on reduced graphene oxide were presented as posters. The event featured several lectures on implemented PoC projects in various fields across Masaryk University, and an interesting panel discussion took place. A total of 78 PoC projects have been carried out at MU so far, of which seven projects were solved by scientists from our research group; see their list below. PoC projects play an essential role in commercialising research results and their transfer into practice. We hope that it will be possible to apply for projects of this type in the future.
A new member of our team until the end of December is Alex Destrieux, who is working on the treatment of organic materials organic materials for photovoltaics. After finishing his PhD in Canada, the French scientist came to Brno to continue his work
Our Ph.D. student Ms. Areej Fatima has been awarded the Best Poster Prize at the NANOCON2024 international conference in Brno!
