At the end of February 2020, colleagues from the Center for Functional and Surface Functionalized Glass (Funglass Center in Trenčín) visited CEPLANT Centre to see the possibilities in plasma processing.
FunGlass researchers MSc. Aruchamy, Dr. Neščáková, Dr. Parchoviansky, Dr. Velazquéz visited the CEPLANT centre in Brno to see the possibilities in plasma processing. The Center for Functional and Surface Functionalized Glass (Funglass Center in Trenčín) aims to create an internationally recognized centre of excellence of research in the field of glass-based functional materials. Assoc. Prof. Dušan Kováčik introduced the centre by a presentation followed by a lab tour. Dr. Kelar, Dr. Štepánová, MSc. Sihelník and other researches demonstrated the plasma treatment by different generators, and introduced analyses of treated samples (glasses, metals, polymers). The visiting researchers got the possibility to work with proper samples and discussed the potential application to material processing in the FunGlass Center. Details 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.
