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.
Dr. Matej Fekete has conducted a research stay at Linköping University linked with his MSCAfellow@MUNI project, which focuses on oxynitride thin films. In collaboration with Prof. Grzegorz Greczynski and the Fundamental Science of Thin Films group, his research addressed hybrid deposition methods and plasma diagnostics using industrial-scale equipment.
“Wealth” was this year’s theme of the European Researchers’ Night, held on September 26. Nearly 7,000 visitors stopped by the Masaryk University. Animators from all three physics deparments prepared a diverse program for all age groups. At our physics stations, we didn’t count the visitors, but the interest was huge! Thank you to everyone who came – you were amazing. We look forward to seeing you again next year!
