Funkčné kompozity na báze elastomérnej matrice a anorganických plnív
Functional composites based on elastomer matrix and inorganic filler
Program: Inter-academic agreement
Project leader: Ing. Bureš Radovan, CSc.
Annotation: Advanced functional materials combining required mechanical and electro-magnetic properties currently represent a promising approach in development of new types of sensors. The primary aim of the proposed joint project is formulation of novel functional composites based on elastomer matrix modified by nano-particle fillers. To obtain materials with a broad range of physicochemical properties the polymer matrix, for instance polyurethane based on polybutadiene blocks, will be modified by different types and amounts of metallic nano-particles. Indispensable part of the proposed project is detailed structural and physicochemical characterization of the prepared composite systems. For such task specific correlations between mechanical and electrical properties and the chemical composition of the prepared systems will be primarily studied. Molecular structure will be probed by FTIR and ssNMR techniques while surface morphology will be determined using advanced microscopy. Successful solution of the proposed project requires extensive knowledge transfer between both working groups.

Development and Testing of Respirators with Efficient Degradation of Viruses by Filters Containing Antiviral Materials
Program: SRDA
Project leader: Ing. Ballóková Beáta, PhD.
Annotation: In response to the situation resulting from the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the research and development performed at workplaces of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Technical University of Kosice has been partially transformed into research and development of special respirators and filtration materials. The submitted project is focussed on the development and construction of respirators with separable filters without exhalation valves which provide efficient protection against SARS-CoV-2 virus. The aim of the project is the investigation, development and production of respirators with separable filters and the testing of novel filtration materials. Designing and production of the respirator will be carried out while applying biomimetic and ergonomic principles and modern additive manufacturing technologies, and the production of multicomponent filters will be carried out while applying a combination of powder metallurgy technology and electrospinning which will facilitate combining metal filters and polymer nanofibres. Also, ceramic components produced by 3D printing will be used as a protective packaging of the used nanofibres and nanoparticles. In order to achieve the project objectives, it will be necessary to carry out the fundamental investigation of filtration efficiencies of the suggested materials with virucidal effects based on copper and ions of silver of zinc. The purpose of the project is to develop and construct testing systems intended for identification of resistance coefficients of newly developed filtration materials, filter permeability using a suitable aerosol, as well as mask penetration through the facepiece contact line. Optimisation of the shape of the respirator facepiece will be based on the analysis of biological parameters of at least 20 human facial scans; this will facilitate elimination of potential infection by particles escaping through the space around the mask.

Lowdimensional systems in electrode and magnetic materials potentially applied in green technologies.
Program: VEGA
Project leader: RNDr. Strečková Magdaléna, PhD.
Annotation: The growing demand for energy and depletion of primary fossil energy resources causes an increasing pressure on use of alternative energy sources in larger scale. The project will be focused on the preparation and development of technologies producing 1D and 2D nanostructures. The carbon fibers incorporating metalnanoparticles represent a prospective materials for catalytic hydrogen evolution. Ferrite thin films and nanofibers are potentially useful for the preparation of soft magnetic composites with low eddy currents and total current losses during magnetization. The needle-less electrospinning technology will be used for fibers production due to cheap, user friendly and production of fibers in a wider scale. The thin ferrite films will be prepared by sol-gel method. The main aim of project concentrates on the effect of input parameters of the solutions influence the finalfunction properties of prepared fibers and films.
