3rd PNB Workshop

After two years, our research group and CEPLANT centre organized the traditional PNB workshop, this time with international participation. The event took place on October 9-12, 2023 in Hustopeče and was attended by 30 participants. In addition to dozens of interesting lectures, there was also time for numerous discussions, exchange of contacts and a trip to nearby Mikulov.

The Department of Physical Electronics changes its name

In the first half of 2023, we managed to publish 5 research articles in Q1 quartile impact journals. They covered topics ranging from the preparation of nanofibers, through nanocrystalline composites, layers of hydrogels, tubular films used in the food industry to glass cleaning using plasma. Some of them were published in open access mode, so they are accessible to the general public.

Plasma as a tool to improve the quality of UV digital printing

Digital printing is now a widely available technology. However, the printed materials' size and variety still present a challenge for printers. Not all glass, polymer and Dibond boards, canvases, etc., are suitable for printing. However, atmospheric plasma treatments can also cope with the adhesion of these different materials for UV digital printing.

Use of plasma for composites in the aerospace industry

Even in the hot summer, scientists are not idle, but devote themselves to research and establishing new collaborations. Last week, 4 of our colleagues spent experimental work at the Research Institute for Aircraft Design (IFB) of the University of Stuttgart. The aim was to test the beneficial effect of plasma on various modern composite materials used in the aviation industry.
