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.
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.
The Heart of Europe workshop is a traditional gathering of scientists dealing with thin films. The center of Europe is presented by the Technical University of Vienna, Masaryk University in Brno, and Comenius University in Bratislava.
Prof. Christoph Gerhard and his colleagues visited their project partners at the Department of Plasma Physics and Technology and the CEPLANT Centre in the second week of April 2024. Together, they are working on the functionalization of fibers.
