Plasma CO2 conversion experiments at Max Planck

A two-member scientific team consisting of Dr. Jakub Kelar and Dr. Michal Pazderka went to the German Max Planck Institute, located near Munich, for cooperation. Will a dielectric barrier discharge with a unique ceramic barrier be suitable for practical CO₂ conversion?

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.

The end of academic year

At the end of the semester, the state doctoral exams were held for three of our doctoral students and they passed them successfully. Several students successfully defended their bachelor thesis under the guidance of supervisors from our group. We said goodbye to Dr. Majka Kováčová, who completed her postdoc at MU in Brno. And we ended the academic year informally with teambuilding at the Brno dam. The PNB Group wishes you a beautiful summer!
