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.
PhD student Ondrej Kubinec, supervised by Assoc. Prof. Vilma Buršíková, participated in the TEM-UCA Summer Workshop 2025 in Puerto Real, Spain, focused on the latest advances in transmission electron microscopy for nanomaterials. His program included expert lectures and hands-on training with specialized tools for EELS analysis and electron beam–crystal interaction modeling, supporting his research on thermoelectric materials.
Our scientists participated in the International Conference on Phenomena in Ionized Gases (ICPIG 2025) held in Aix-en-Provence, France. The Department of Plasma Physics and Technology was represented by Prof. David Trunec, along with Dr. Michal Pazderka and PhD candidate František Zažímal on behalf of the CEPLANT center. Also featured in the group photo are our colleagues Assoc. Prof. Tomáš Homola (currently working on an MSCA project at STU Bratislava), Dr. Oleksandr Galmiz (FMFI UK Bratislava), and Prof. Věra Mazánková (University of Defence in Brno).
