Potential industrial use of nanofiber filter modifications

Nanofiber filters are a very current topic at this time. How do we manage to improve their production and durability through plasma treatment? Read more in the interview with dr. David Pavliňák.

8 Jan 2021

CEPLANT scientists have devised a technique that facilitates the production of nanofibre mask filters. Now, with the help of a grant from the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic (TAČR), they are verifying how the plasma-treated surface of the filter handles temperature fluctuations, storage, and other "pitfalls" of commercial production. For more, read the interview with our colleague dr. David Pavliňák, a research and development worker at the CEPLANT Centre and coordinator of the project dealing with the modification of nanofiber filters for industrial use. The full interview is available here.

Bridging Plasma Science: Dr. Muddasir Ali Shah’s Collaborative Visit Enriches Our Research Community

From August to October, we had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Muddasir Ali Shah, a distinguished plasma physicist from Pakistan. His research stay was not only a testament to the power of international collaboration but also a unique opportunity to deepen our shared understanding of plasma science. The visit fostered new friendships, hopefully inspired possible joint projects, and showcased the welcoming spirit that defines our research environment.

European Corrosion Congress – EUROCORR 2025

Pedram Ghourghi Beigi, a PhD candidate in the Plasma Nanotechnologies and Bioapplications research group at CEPLANT and DPPT, attended the European Corrosion Congress 2025 in Norway. He presented his work on novel atmospheric-pressure plasma curing of anti-corrosion silicon-based coatings by oral and poster presentation, which sparked many fruitful discussions with fellow researchers.

Plasma Chemical experiments by Vladimír Hudák in his SOČ project

This week, Vladimír Hudák, a student from the Jozef Miloslav Hurban Highschool in Čadca (Slovakia), joined research activities at the Department of Plasma Physics and Technology. As part of his high school research project (SOČ), he is working under the guidance of Dr. Richard Krumpolec and František Zelenák on purifying food dye solutions using plasma-reduced graphene oxide – a technology with promising applications in sustainability and environmental protection.
