Collaboration with Şişecam Science, Technology and Design Center

Richard Krumpolec established a new collaboration with Şişecam, one of the largest producer of flat glass in Europe. The scientists tested the potential of plasma surface treatment on bond strength behavior of an adhesively bonded glass-polymer interface directly at Şişecam Science, Technology, and Design Center.

Plasma and crop protection

Plasma treatment of seeds offers new possibilities for decontamination and, therefore, seed protection against bacteria and fungi. The research of Assoc. Prof. Pavel Slavíček, Dr. Vlasta Štěpánová and their colleagues investigates the treatment and its functionality. Plasma treatment is suitable for replacing chemical agents that are still used to treat seeds. It can improve germination and suppress unwanted molds, which may affect the seed storability.
