New team members

Since January, our team has been strengthened by Mgr. Dana Skácelová, who has returned after maternity leave and will continue in her previous scientific activities. Since February, a new colleague, Mgr. Mária Kováčová, PhD., came to our research group. She will focus on the preparation and characterization of carbon nanomaterials, graphene oxide and nanocomposites, as well as the preparation of antibacterial polymer composite materials using plasma technologies.
