The laboratory is equipped with plasma-chemical devices for the preparation, modification, and testing of functional materials, particularly biomaterials.
The laboratory conducts research in the following areas: plasma surface modification of materials, especially the production of diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings for biomedical applications; DLC coatings doped with elements (e.g., Si, Ag, F, Ti) to achieve the desired bioactivity of modified surfaces; production of DLC coatings with interlayers, including gradient layers; selection of post-processing methods for 3D printed implants (using chemical processes or combining chemical treatments with plasma processes); production of TiOx, HAp coatings (particularly by electrochemical methods); mechanical modification of powders; decoration of carbon powders (especially for hydrogen storage applications); accelerated testing in a climatic chamber (including the effects of UV radiation).
Our facility, along with additional equipment for sample preparation, precise control, and process analysis, includes: [additional equipment details].
