The Grant Agency of the Czech Republic rated the research developing thin flexible ceramic substrates with optimized electrical properties for plasma sources as excellent. Members of the Plasma Nanotechnologies and Bioapplications research group led by Professor Černák participated in the research.
In cooperation with experts from BUT CEITEC, scientists from the Department of Physical Electronics (DPE) developed new plasma units based on thin ceramic substrates. They will be used, for example, to clean surfaces or to increase seed production. A team of young experts from the Central European Institute of Technology CEITEC BUT under the leadership of Prof. Martin Trunec collaborated with young researchers from the Plasma Nanotechnologies and Bioapplications research group at DPE Faculty of Science, Masaryk University under the leadership of Prof. Mirko Černák. Scientists would like to follow up on this research by continuing the project. More information about the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic award can be found here
Leila Zahedi and Pedram Ghourchi Beigi, Ph.D. candidates at the Plasma Nanotechnology and Bioapplication group, Department of Plasma Physics and Technology, stayed four months at the University of Ghent for their Erasmus+ traineeship. They investigated the potential of plasma-liquid interaction for practical applications within the scope of their respective Ph.D. topics.
In mid-February 2025, Dr. Richard Krumpolec and Pedram Ghourchi Beigi hosted Kingsley Iwu, the CTO of Nanize AS. New insights into plasma application in the PFAS-free industry were discussed at the beginning of the sixth year of this collaboration with this Norwegian company. Experiments were carried out based on the use of plasma technologies for the activation of various substrates for applications in the coating industry.
