Proof of Concept projects, that were or still are being solved by scientists from CEPLANT and Department of Physical Electronics, were presented on Proof of Concept conference held on April 26th, 2022 by Masaryk University Technology Transfer Office. Dr. David Pavliňák had an oral presentation on the topic of the Plasma-assited modification of nanofibers for filtration purposes. Other two projects were presented by posters.
The attendees of the Proof of concept Conference were able to look into the journey of scientific research from its start through a concept proof to applications in practice. The conference was held on April 26th, 2022 by Masaryk University Technology Transfer Office (TTO MUNI).Masaryk University was the base for 78 Proof of Concept Projects. Eleven PoC projects were solved by the Department of Physical Electronics and CEPLANT.
Dr. David Pavliňák orally presented Plasma-assisted modification of nanofibers for filtration purposes. Dr. Vasta štěpánová presented a poster about the Plasma treatment optimization of casings for meat products. Dr. Richar Krumpolec with Mgr. František Zelenák presented a poster on the topic of Plasma modification of aerogels on the base of reduced graphene oxide. The conference was attended by other colleagues from the Department of Physical Electronics whom are involved with a solution of other PoC projects.
Collaboration across teams brings new insights into plasma chemistry. As part of a GAČR project led by Assoc. Prof. Pavel Dvořák, experts from several research groups gathered at our institute to jointly test advanced plasma and flame atomizers for trace element analysis.
Simon Dap from Laboratoire LAPLACE, Université Paul Sabatier (Toulouse, France) joined the Plasma Diagnostics and Modelling group at the Department of Plasma Physics and Technology and the CEPLANT center for a series of joint experiments. This year’s work builds on the promising results from his previous visit, focusing on measuring the concentration of free oxygen atoms in DBD discharges in a CO₂ atmosphere using TALIF (Two-photon Absorption Laser Induced Fluorescence).
