Our colleagues Assoc. Prof. Dušan Kováčik and Dr. Oleksandr Galmiz presented the project PLASMA NANOTEX solved by the R&D CEPLANT and the Department of Physical Electronics of Masaryk University at the international trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens Techtextil in Frankfurt am Main from June 21 to 24, 2022.
Techtextil is a leading international trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens. This year, the Techtextil is held in Frankfurt am Main from June 21 to 24, 2022. Exhibitors presented the entire spectrum of technical textiles, functional apparel textiles, and textile technologies. Over 1,300 international exhibitors from 53 countries took part in this year's Techtextil under the motto Connecting the Future.
R&D CEPLANT center was represented by Assoc. Prof. Dušan Kováčik and Dr. Oleksandr Galmiz. Together they exhibited project PLASMA NANOTEX - In-line plasma technology for a large throughput manufacturing of advanced nanofiber-based filter fabrics.
The R&D CEPLANT center, MU Department of Physical Electronics, and Nafigate company solved the presented project from September 2020 to November 2021. The project concerned the in-line plasma treatment of nanofiber products, emphasizing their filtration capabilities. At Techtextil, the ELIIT stand displayed the project results. The European light industries innovation and technology (ELIIT) projects were launched to support textile, clothing, leather, and footwear (TCLF) small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in enhancing their competitiveness while helping them integrate new technologies in innovative or high added-value products, processes or services.
We are pleased to inform you about the 4th Plasma Nanotechnologies and Bioapplications (PNB) Workshop, taking place from October 20 - 23, 2025, at the OREA Resort Panorama Moravský kras in Češkovice. Supported by the Large Research Infrastructure CEPLANT, this international event will spotlight current trends in plasma nanotechnologies, with a focus on recent advancements, collaborative research, and industrial applications.
The DCSBD technology has once again proven its versatility, with a successful installation at our partner institution, Fraunhofer IAP. Dr. Jakub Kelar, together with our chief electrical technician Jaromín Hašana, integrated a DCSBD unit system into a linear motion platform developed by the Fraunhofer team for advanced surface functionalization. This collaboration was possible through the R2R-Net consortium, which continues to support impactful innovation and cross-institutional cooperation.
