Workshop in Broumov, October 11-14, 2021

The workshop in Broumov was a success, 20 lectures with various topics were given and there was still some free time left to get to know the Broumov region. New PhD students had the opportunity to meet with other participants and during the lectures to gain knowledge that they will use in further research. We are glad that due to the situation the workshop could take place with in-person participation. An electronic version of the Book of abstracts is available on the Munispace portal.

Visit from the Nanize company

At the beginning of October, Dr. Kingsley Iwu from Nanize (Narvik, Norway) visited our laboratory. We have been cooperating with the Nanize company since 2020 within the contract research, which concerns the preparation of durable anti-fouling and anti-soiling surfaces. The aim of this research is to develop layers that can be used, for example, as anti-graffiti coatings.
