Casings for meat products are topic of focus for meat producers. They strive to make the products appealing even after being unwrapped. Scientists from CEPLANT use plasma and research a way to improve the properties of plastic sausage casings. Read more in the interview with Assoc. Prof. Dušan Kováčik.
CEPLANT scientists work on a Proof of Concept project. It aims to help verify or fine-tune a technology intended for the market. The objective is to optimize the plasma treatment of the material for meat casings. Scientists carry out a detailed study of the effects of plasma on plastic wraps, especially from the point of view of enhanced wettability, which usually indicates also better adhesion. The main goal is to make this method easy, cheap, and effective. The full interview with Assoc. Prof. Dušan Kováčik is available here.
Assoc. Prof. Tomáš Homola from the Department of Plasma Physics and Technology and CEPLANT center will present the spin-off company ROPLASS, a special university course, Physics in Business, at Masaryk University. The lecture is open to the general public. Come and get yourself acquainted with our spin-of company manufacturing our innovative plasma solutions.
The Department of Plasma Physics and Technology and the CEPLANT Centre hosted the INNOLEC Lecture on "Crystal Symmetry and X-ray Crystallography" on 9 and 10 April 2025. Esteemed Professor Peter Rogl, Group Leader of the Christian Doppler Laboratory (CPL) for Thermoelectrics at the Institute of Materials Chemistry & Research, University of Vienna, accepted the invitation of Assoc. Prof. Vilma Buršíková. A series of three consecutive lectures provided the participants with a comprehensive view of the topic of X-ray analysis of the crystal structure of solids.
