Joining of the research teams from both countries is motivated not only because of great technological potential of the ferroelectrics but also due to the fascinating physics behind their energy storage properties. Dielectrics play an important role in high-power energy storage applications, such as electromagnetic devices and hybrid electric vehicles, due to their fast charge-discharge capability. However, dielectric capacitors, although presenting faster charging\/discharging rates and better stability compared with supercapacitors or Li-ion batteries, are limited in applications due to their relatively low energy density. To date, the best materials for dielectric capacitors are ferroelectrics based on lead-containing oxides. Toxicity of lead and environmental concerns, however, have prompted the search for lead-free alternatives. In the proposed collaborative research, we will employ the high entropy concept to develop novel lead-free ferroelectrics for effective energy storage in next generation dielectric capacitors. Recently, we have demonstrated that the energy density and efficiency of high-entropy ferroelectrics can be substantially improved by texturing their microstructure and optimizing the field-induced phase transitions. However, the origin of reversible phase transitions and enhanced energy storage performance in these modern high-entropy functional materials still needs a proper interpretation and confirmation from detailed experimental studies. Our aim is to combine research on relaxor ferroelectrics in Slovakia with activities in China focused on innovative technique of templated grain growth of electroceramics and develop lead-free highly textured ferroelectric ceramics with excellent properties for high-power energy storage applications.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Duration: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>1.7.2024 &#8211; 30.6.2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>H2MobilHydride &#8211; V\u00fdvoj a spracovanie pokro\u010dil\u00fdch metalhydridov\u00fdch kompozitn\u00fdch materi\u00e1lov pre uskladnenie vod\u00edka ur\u010den\u00fdch pre mobiln\u00e9 aplik\u00e1cie<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>Developoment and processing of advanced metal hydride composites with specific microstructure properties for mobile hydrogen storage applications<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Program: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>ERANET<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Project leader: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>RNDr. Nigutov\u00e1 Katar\u00edna, PhD.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%' style='vertical-align: top;'>Annotation: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>The innovation goals of this project are to provide a novel metal hydride composite offering hydrogenation capacity close to Mg alloys, faster kinetics, higher dehydrogenation capacity, and limited material degradation per cycle.

The AlTiVCr HEA desorption enthalpy \u0394H is ~40 kJ\/mol and H\/M ratio ~1. Since AlTiVCr alloy includes lighter-weight elements relative to earlier studied refractory HEAs, it is envisaged that AlTiVCr can be a potential lightweight metal hydride for future hydrogen storage application if its H\/m ratio and hydrogenation\/dehydrogenation kinetics can be improved. So far, the addition of Mxene (Ti3C2) as catalyst and nanosizing exhibited a significant influence on the kinetics and hydrogenation capacity of Mg metal hydrides independently. Therefore, in this study, we aim to develop a lightweight metal hydride composite of AlTiVCr HEA by the combination of three concepts of HEA, Mxenes (Ti3C2 Mxene) and nanosizing by high-pressure torsion (HPT). The influence of Mxene and deformation heterogeneities will be investigated and will be tailored for achieving lower \u0394H, higher H\/M ratio and faster kinetics.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Duration: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>1.4.2022 &#8211; 31.3.2025<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>Pr\u00edprava ZnTiO3, ZnO and (YGd)2O3: Eu keramiky konven\u010dn\u00fdm spekan\u00edm a spekan\u00edm pomocou pulzn\u00e9ho elektrick\u00e9ho pr\u00fadu<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>Preparation of ZnTiO, ZnO and (YGd)203: Eu ceramic with conventional and Pulse electric current sintering technique <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Program: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>Mobility<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Project leader: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>Ing.

In view of above, the present project will be oriented towards the production and characterization of bioceramic systems modified with a thermoset biopolymer coating. A great emphasis will be givenon the synthesis of polyol citrate thermosetting polymers and their effective incorporation on the surface of bioceramic matrix.

Joining of the research teams from both countries is motivatednot only because of great technological potential of multifunctional materials but also due to thefascinating physics behind their unique properties. Multiferroics, exhibiting simultaneouslyferroelectric and magnetic properties, are among the most attractive multifunctional materials.They allow for controlling the magnetic state of multifunctional devices with an external electric field, and vice versa. The main obstacle is, however, the scarcity of multifunctionalmagnetoelectrics in nature. Currently, single-phase multiferroics are far beyond any practicalapplication, because they only demonstrate useful properties at very low temperatures.Recently, we showed that Aurivillius-type ferroelectrics doped by magnetic atoms can exhibitmultiferroic behavior at room temperature. The origin of magnetism and magnetoelectriccoupling in these materials, however, still needs a proper interpretation and confirmation fromdetailed experimental and theoretical studies. Our aim is to combine research on multiferroicmaterials in Slovakia with activities in China on theoretical modelling of multiferroics to designand prepare single-phase materials with the improved magnetoelectric property at roomtemperature.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Duration: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>1.1.2018 &#8211; 31.12.2019<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>Zlep\u0161enie oteruvzdornosti povrchu n\u00e1strojov\u00fdch ocel\u00ed pomocou laserov\u00e9ho kalenia v kombin\u00e1cii s hlbok\u00fdm kryog\u00e9nnym spracovan\u00edm.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>The wear resistance improvement of tool steels surface via the laser hardening in combination with deep cryogenic treatment.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Program: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>Bilateral &#8211; other<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Project leader: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>Mgr.

Lithium tetraborate (Li2B4O7) is a promising non-linear material for frequency conversion including the generation of the fourth and fifth harmonics of the Nd:YAG laser. The lithium potassium borate (LiKB4O7) single crystal is new promising material for application in non-linear optical and acousto-optic devices. It could be implemented in solid-state laser systems for various practical applications. Moreover, lithium borate crystals find applications in thermoluminescence dosimetry of fast neutrons and in neutron-imaging cryogenic detectors. Borate glasses are of great interest because of their good ionic conductance properties and potential application in solid state batteries. Other applications of lithium tetraborate include surface and bulk acoustic wave devices, pagers, cordless and cellular telephones, and data communication devices. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Duration: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>2.9.2014 &#8211; 30.6.2015<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>Mechanick\u00e9 vlastnosti materi\u00e1lov pou\u017e\u00edvan\u00fdch v regenerat\u00edvnej ortopedickej a dent\u00e1lnej medic\u00edne<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>Mechanical properties of materials for regenerative orthopedic and dental medicine<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Program: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>COST<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Project leader: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>Mgr.

On the other hand, these materials are known as themost difficult-to-machine metallic materials and, so far, only small progress has been made to improve their machinability. During the production of turbine components up to 50% of themanufacturing costs can be related to machining. Hence, the reduction of the production costs bythe optimisation of the cutting process is mandatory for European manufacturers to remaininternationally competitive.The MAMINA project will combine the work of ninenteen European universities, researchinstitutions and industrial companies to analyse and improve the machinability of three selectedalloys that are widely used in industry, namely Ti15V3Cr3Al3Sn (a titanium-base beta-alloy),Inconel IN706 (a nickel-base superalloy) and X40 (a cobalt-base alloy). As the chip formation isone of the key factors influencing the machinability of these materials, this process will be studiedin detail in a multidisciplinary approach. 24 early stage researchers from the fields of theoreticalphysics, materials science and mechanical engineering will work under the supervision ofexperienced scientists on metal cutting experiments, material analyses and simulations at the macro,micro- and nano-scale.Three different approaches will be made to improve the cutting process of the investigated alloysby means of: (1) introduction of enhanced manufacturing techniques; (2) production of progressivetools with extended endurance, and (3) development of free-machining alloys by the use ofpermanent and temporary alloying elements. The results will be transferred to applications by theindustrial partners of the consortium. It is expected that the production costs of improved machining will be reduced by up to 20%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Project webpage: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>http:\/\/rzv014.rz.tu-bs.de\/mamina\/index.htm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Duration: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>1.11.2008 &#8211; 31.10.2012<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>INTEG-RISK &#8211; V\u010dasn\u00e9 zistenie, monitorovanie a integrovan\u00fd mana\u017ement riz\u00edk prin\u00e1\u0161an\u00fdch s nov\u00fdmi technol\u00f3giami<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>Early recognition, monitoring and integrated management of emerging, new technology related risks<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Program: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>FP7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Project leader: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>prof.

The first objective involves the mechanical activation of metals and chalcogens to produce fine, flaky, or delaminated precursors, which are crucial for optimizing the surface area and reactivity of starting materials. To complement this, we will develop a transferable device capable of monitoring pressure and temperature during planetary milling with subsecond resolution, providing valuable insights into the milling process and allowing for precise control over reaction conditions. Our investigation will also explore how the properties of selected reagents and milling conditions influence the ignition time of MSRs, aiming to elucidate the conditions that favor the formation of binary and ternary metal chalcogenides (MxCy, where M = Ag, Cu, Co, In, Ni and C = S, Se). Furthermore, we seek to identify the primary driving forces behind ball-free MSRs for selected metal chalcogenides, which will be critical for predicting reaction outcomes and improving synthesis strategies. Finally, we will explore the application potential of the synthesized products in electrocatalysis, particularly for hydrogen evolution reactions (HER).

These composites will be fabricated using Selective Laser Melting (SLM), an additive manufacturing process, enabling fast prototyping of complex geometries. The core concept of these composites lies in combining hard ceramic particulates (with melting points exceeding 3000 \u00b0C, ensuring their stability during laser fusion) with an adaptive metallic matrix. This matrix will exhibit enhanced adaptability to wear impacts through a \u201csmart\u201c response aimed at decreasing surface degradation, thus improving the matrix\\&#8217;s durability and total composite integrity. The possible responses are deformation-induced martensite transformation, secondary phase precipitation, protective oxide scale formation, etc. The project fulfilment will encompass the design of the composite (phase constituents, powder size distributions, volume ratios, etc.), optimization of SLM parameters to produce defect-free 3D-printed components, and applying the post-SLM processing to boost the composite\u2019s properties. The resulting composites will be tailored for different applications involving intensive abrasive, erosive, high-temperature erosion\/oxidation.

Direct structural and functional connection is created between a bone and the surface of a load-bearing implant after implantation without interfering with soft tissue. Therefore, successful osseointegration is crucial for implants\\&#8217; long-term stability and functionality. In the case of orthopedic scaffolds, surface treatment may improve their osseointegration. Ceramics, particularly bioactive ones (hydroxyapatite, e.g.) can be engineered with specific surface morphologies and porosities that enhance cell attachment and proliferation. Moreover, the unique 3D design of the implant affects load distribution and its mechanical stability. Mimicking the natural anatomy of the bone can also improve biomaterial integration and the healing process. However, in some cases, the body may recognize the implant as a foreign object, triggering an immune response that can lead to chronic inflammation and discomfort. Thus, incorporating drug delivery systems within the implant coating design can provide localized delivery of osteogenic or antimicrobial agents, enhancing bone healing and reducing infection risk. In the opening stage of the project, a novel titanium (Ti6Al4V) alloy implant design will be proposed and the scaffolds will be produced by additive manufacturing using the selective laser melting (SLM) method.

Emphasizing sustainability, the project uses green chemistry and low-temperature oxidative catalytic pyrolysis to synthesize FR-Oxygraphene from ecofriendly materials like cotton fibers, paper cellulose, and waste textiles, minimizing environmental impact. FROxygraphene, with a multilayer tubular structure, shows significant potential as an anode material. Its high specific surface area, excellent electrical conductivity, and large pore volume offer advantages over conventional graphite anodes. To improve electrochemical performance, heteroatoms like silicon will be incorporated into the material to overcome issues associated with conventional anodes, such as low capacity, low cycle stability, and limited conductivity. Optimizing this functionalization is crucial for maximizing FR-Oxygraphene\\&#8217;s potential, leading to superior LIB performance. Project SMEBAT also focuses on battery cell design and validation. Laboratory-scale prototypes of Li-ion battery cells will be designed and fabricated to test FR-Oxygraphene anodes. Comprehensive electrochemical evaluations will compare FR-Oxygraphene to conventional graphite anodes, aiming to demonstrate superior capacity, charge-discharge rates, and cycle stability. The project aims to reach TRL5 by verifying the technology in an industrial environment, preparing modified FR-Oxygraphene as a suitable advanced anode material for LIBs. SMEBAT envisions developing LIBs that are powerful, environmentally friendly, and sustainable. By utilizing FR-Oxygraphene\\&#8217;s unique properties, SMEBAT aims to create LIBs with higher energy density, faster charge-discharge rates, and longer cycle life, while reducing environmental impact. This aligns with regional, national, and European initiatives for sustainable energy storage solutions.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Duration: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>1.3.2025 &#8211; 31.12.2028<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>V\u00fdvoj nov\u00fdch efekt\u00edvnych zliatin ur\u010den\u00fdch na uskladnenie vod\u00edka<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>Development of New Efficient Alloys for Hydrogen Storage <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Program: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>VEGA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Project leader: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>Mgr.

The problem with current alloys is the too high temperature (exceeding 400 \u00b0C) at which H2 is released from their volume. The latest trend in material development in this area is towards microalloying of high entropy alloys with elements that can significantly reduce the desorption temperature of H2 from their volume. The amount of stored hydrogen can also be increased by plastic deformation of the matrix. Both of these approaches are the subject of this scientific project.

The aim of the modification is to limit the interaction of the combustion gases with the barrel breech material. The strategic role of the surface integrity solution is to prevent or delay the formation of primary non-integrity (such as cracks, non-integrity due to diffusion of gases from the combustion gases of the powder charge). The claddings will be made with a different chemical composition in order to increase the resistance of the cap materials to the action of tribodegradation factors. Thermodynamic calculations of phase equilibria and phase transformations will be performed. Experimental samples will be tested by NDT methods and laboratory tests by light, electron microscopy, XRD phase analysis and mechanical tests.

The starting point for burner design modifications is a mathematical model of the hydrodynamics of mixing and kinetics of combustion of the CH4-H2 fuel mixture with hydrogen content in defined intervals. The actual design of the structural modifications of the current burners consists in the construction of a variable nozzle at the burner orifice. This is a set of nozzles for the supply of combustion air and fuel. An important part of the design of the nozzle and burner mouth design will be CFD simulations, which will be compared and verified based on measurements on the constructed physical model in the burner-radiation tube-cooling chamber system. The submitted project includes a comprehensive material analysis of the burner materials, welded joints and bends of the radiation tube exposed to thermal and hydrogen exposure to evaluate different types of material degradation (thermal embrittlement, hydrogen damage). The originality lies in the development of versatile burner designs for indirect heating capable of adaptively adapting to combustion conditions while changing the composition of the natural gas and maintaining the heat input. Universal design modifications will thus support the idea of circular economy. The output of the project will be a utility model application, and scientific articles and teaching materials for the design, development and structural modification of burners for indirect heating.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Duration: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>1.9.2024 &#8211; 30.6.2028<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>Biokompozitn\u00fd cement s vitam\u00ednom K pre regener\u00e1ciu kost\u00ed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>Biocomposite cement with vitamin K for bone regeneration<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Program: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>VEGA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Project leader: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>Ing. \u0160tulajterov\u00e1 Radoslava, PhD.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%' style='vertical-align: top;'>Annotation: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>The project focuses on the research and development of calcium phosphate cement\/starch\/vitamin K composites with optimized composition.

However, analogous two-phase boride-carbide coatings have been produced up to now neither by conventional DC magnetron sputtering nor by more advanced methods, including High Target Utilization Sputtering (HiTUS).

Despite the increasing number of synthetic drugs with antibiotic and anti-inflammatory effects, research interest in natural substances, such as essential oils (EOs), remains still high. The terpenes and terpenoids found in essential oils represent a potential alternatives to synthetic drugs used for bone and joint healing, thanks to high inflammatory effect and the ability to inhibit  bone resorption, subsequently leading to an increase of the bone mineral density. Hence the incorporation of terpene EOs into frequently used bone substitute materials, such as calcium phosphate cements, represent a significant challenge addressed by the proposed CASOPUR project. The novelty and main contribution of the project will concern on the stabilization of EOs through citrate-based polyesters synthesis via esterification reactions, followed by deposition onto the CPC matrix using a solution infiltration technique. This approach offers an effective strategy for creating homogeneous polymer coatings on the cement matrix and developing polymer\/CPC systems functionalized with natural EOs. The resulting biocomposites will exhibit not only improved physicochemical properties but will also support the healing and regeneration of bone tissue. The project aims to provide calcium phosphate bone cement with antimicrobial activity without harming its bone regenerative capability. Overall, the successful outcome of this project holds the potential to provide a bone-filling material for use in bone tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. An important aspect of such biomaterials is their potential to significantly reduce the risk of post-operative infections in patients undergoing orthopedic surgeries, thus enhancing the patients comfort and safety during these procedures. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Duration: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>1.9.2024 &#8211; 31.8.2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>NOEL &#8211; Neu\u0161\u013eachtil\u00e9 katalyz\u00e1tory pre efekt\u00edvne \u0161tiepenie vody v pokro\u010dil\u00fdch elektrolyz\u00e9roch<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>Non-Noble Electrocatalysts for Efficient Water Splitting in Advanced Electrolyzers<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Program: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>Pl\u00e1n obnovy E\u00da<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Project leader: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>RNDr. Stre\u010dkov\u00e1 Magdal\u00e9na, PhD.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%' style='vertical-align: top;'>Annotation: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>Human society is facing today significant challenges related to the climate changes induced by an intensive industrialization of economy and high carbon dioxide release to the atmosphere. In order to minimize important negative consequences of this phenomenon developed societies call for decarbonization of our economy and searching for alternative sources of energy, as well as raw materials for the industry. Here, hydrogen (H2) as the simplest and most abundant element in the universe can play an important role in a transition to a low-carbon economy. Green H2 \u2013 also referred to as \u201cclean H2\u201d is produced by using clean energy from surplus renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power through a process called electrolysis. During electrolysis, water is broken down into hydrogen and oxygen molecules, and the hydrogen thus prepared can be consumed immediately or stored and used when needed. The main goal of this project is to contribute to economic viability of the green hydrogen production by reducing costs of electrocatalysts in future electrolyzes and fuel cells. This target will be achieved by the synthesis of the innovative non-noble metal electrocatalysts based on transition metal phosphides as the main components to proton exchange membrane electrolyzers. The key task will be devoted to the development of bifunctional electrode materials for hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction with emphasis on maintaining low costs and high efficiency suitable for commercial applications. Completion of this target will help maintaining competitiveness in energetic industry in the starting period of economy decarbonization.   <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Duration: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>1.9.2024 &#8211; 31.8.2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>CROSSBEAM &#8211; Nov\u00fd reakt\u00edvny pr\u00edstup k synt\u00e9ze kompozitov s keramickou matricou vystu\u017een\u00fdch mikrovl\u00e1knami UHTC<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>Novel reactive approach towards the sysnthesis of UHTC microfibers reinforced ceramic matrix composites<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Program: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>Pl\u00e1n obnovy E\u00da<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Project leader: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>Ing.

The project adopts a multidisciplinary approach, bridging theoretical research with practical applications, including sustainability and life cycle assessments of the developed materials, thereby establishing a solid foundation for their future industrial implementation and further international collaboration.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Duration: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>1.1.2025 &#8211; 31.8.2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>CAFIHEC &#8211; Dvojf\u00e1zov\u00e1 vysokoentropick\u00e1 keramika vystu\u017een\u00e1 uhl\u00edkov\u00fdmi vl\u00e1knami <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>Carbon fibers reinforced dual-phase high-entropy ceramics<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Program: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>Pl\u00e1n obnovy E\u00da<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Project leader: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>Ing.

This new dual-phase HECs provide an excellent platform for controlling physical, thermal, fracture\u2013mechanical, tribological, oxidation, and other properties of the system via microstructural engineering, e.g., by changing the volume fraction, size, and shape of each phase, in addition to tailoring the interfaces. These characteristics allow the materials to withstand extreme environments for potential applications in leading-edge industries such as hypersonic vehicles, and nuclear reactors. This research follows up on the latest world trends, in which Dr. Naughton-Duszova et al. have been published, as described in the State-of-the-Art in chapter 1.2. Intensive investigations on HE-UHTC\\&#8217;s in the past five years focused mainly on the modeling, processing, and characterization of their microstructure and mainly the basic mechanical properties such as hardness, modulus, and indentation fracture resistance using indentation methods have been studied. A very promising group of these advanced materials developed as potential systems for ultra-high temperature applications is the so-called dual-phase high-entropy ultra-high temperature ceramics (DPHE-UHTCs).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Duration: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>1.10.2024 &#8211; 30.6.2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>INNOVATTOOLS &#8211; Inovat\u00edvne pr\u00edstupy k zvy\u0161ovaniu \u017eivotnosti a zni\u017eovaniu energetickej n\u00e1ro\u010dnosti rezn\u00fdch n\u00e1strojov pri spracovan\u00ed dreva v lesn\u00edctve<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>Innovative approaches to increase the lifetime and reduce the energy consumption of cutting tools in wood processing in forestry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Program: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>SRDA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Project leader: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>RNDr. D\u017eupon Miroslav, PhD.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%' style='vertical-align: top;'>Annotation: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>The project will address the issue of the use of methods and procedures for the modification of cutting tools for wood processing in forestry. The result will be an increase in their lifetime and a reduction in emissions and energy consumption of forestry machinery and equipment. The main objects of research will be tools for primary wood processing, modification and processing of forestry biomass for energy purposes, such as splitting and chipping tools, tools for cross-cutting wood, etc. The main task of the project will be the design of procedures and methods for the modification of exposed functional surfaces of the tools. Ensuring a higher quality of functional tool surfaces in the context of reducing friction and eliminating adhesion, provides a prerequisite for reducing the load on machinery equipment and thus reducing emissions and energy consumption in a given production. Analyses will be carried out on the tools &#8211; FEM analysis in order to determine the stress-strain state, on the samples analysis of the state of the material in terms of physical properties, microstructure, mechanical properties and resistance to adhesive wear in wood-metal interaction and also abrasive wear. Based on the results of the analyses carried out, innovative surface treatment procedures will be proposed for the exposed functional surfaces to guarantee an increase in their functional lifetime. These will be applied to samples and laboratory tested by relevant test procedures. From the results of the laboratory tests, a selection will be made of the most appropriate non-conventional innovative procedures, which will be applied to the tools and tested on the equipment under forestry operating conditions. In doing so, it will be observed how the modifications in question affect the energy consumption of forestry machinery and equipment.

This fact has led and it is still leading to a greatexpansion in the production of car batteries, which would allow the longest possible range of electric cars. Besidesthe capacity of the batteries, the efficient use of stored energy in electric vehicle drives has a significant effect onthe range of cars as well. This project aims to reduce losses and increase the efficiency of electric drives.Increased efficiency and reduced losses can be achieved by reducing the losses in the materials of the rotors andstators of rotating electrical machines, but also by reducing the losses that occur when changing the properties of the source material during cutting and subsequent joining into rotor and stator bundles. Experimental research will focus on optimizing the microstructure and texture of various grades of electrical sheets in order to minimize electromagnetic losses and optimize the conditions for the production of rotor and stator bundles by cutting and subsequent joining. The optimization of the conditions of joining electrical sheets of various chemical and microstructural concepts will be the expected output of the project. The magnetic properties of the joined electrical sheet cut-outs will be compared with the magnetic properties of the lamellas produced by electrospark cutting.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Duration: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>1.7.2022 &#8211; 31.12.2025<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>V\u00fdvoj keramick\u00fdch nanovl\u00e1kien na b\u00e1ze kovov z\u00edskan\u00fdch z recykl\u00e1cie odpadov technol\u00f3giou elektrostatick\u00e9ho zvl\u00e1k\u0148ovania<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>Development of ceramic nanofibers based on metals obtained from the waste recycling and prepared by needle less electrospinning.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Program: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>VEGA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Project leader: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>Ing.

The Hydrogen Technology Center is beingestablished in Ko\u0161ice with the main &quot;Power-to-Gas&quot; concept using renewable power energy sources with nonegative impact on human life and without dependence on fossil fuels. A significant source of hydrogen is waterand the electrolysis of water is the most promising technology for hydrogen production. However, before it can berecognized as an economically significant resource for large scale application with an exceptional energy potential,the simple, efficient, and secure methods of hydrogen retrieval have to be developed. For the time being, the mostefficient electrocatalysts in terms of overpotential for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) are noble metals.Unfortunately the high cost and scarcity of noble metals motivate the scientists to find the rival low-costalternatives. Intrinsic structures of TMP meet the criteria of outstanding electrocatalysts that could further improve their HER performance in membrane electrode assembly. Excellent dispersity of electrocatalysts allows full use ofactive sites on catalysts to participate in electrode reaction to improve the electrocatalytic efficiency. Therefore, themain challenge in this project is to reduce the production cost of HER and at the same time to maintain the highefficiency of polymer electrode water electrolysis. Substantial aim of the project will be devoted to improve the PEM water electrolysis components mainly electrode materials based on modified carbon fibers electrocatalysts result in the technology which should be more approached to commercial markets.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Duration: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>1.7.2021 &#8211; 30.6.2025<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>FUCO &#8211; Funk\u010dn\u00e9 vlastnosti kompaktovan\u00fdch kompozitov na b\u00e1ze magnetick\u00fdch \u010dast\u00edc s povrchovo modifikovan\u00fdmi vlastnos\u0165ami<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>Functional properties of compacted composites based on magnetic  particles with surface-modified properties.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Program: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>SRDA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Project leader: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>Ing.

The existing infrastructure for hydrogen production that applies a renewable energy source in water electrolysis will be used, while the green hydrogen generated in the process of electrolysis will be stored in stationary tanks with an absorption-based storage system. A strategic objective of the project is to interconnect the system for green hydrogen production operated in the island mode, installed at the Centre for Hydrogen Technologies at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, with a system for stationary low-pressure hydrogen storage in metal hydrides, which will then facilitate refuelling mobile MH equipment using a newly developed prototype of a refuelling stand. An important milestone in the project is the research into a design of stationary tanks with an inbuilt thermal management system. Developing the thermal management system is crucial for operational safety and for increasing the efficiency of hydrogen storage while considering the overall reduction of energy consumption in the process of hydrogen absorption and subsequent desorption. The research of novel MH alloys, while respecting equilibrium pressures at predefined operating temperatures, is therefore a primary input parameter for designing the thermal management system. The use of MH alloys for increasing hydrogen pressure eliminates the risks related to the compression process when compared to mechanical compression. The thermal management system will also include a system for cooling hydrogen during refuelling; hence, reduction of the time of refuelling MH tanks for consumers will be verified.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Duration: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>1.7.2022 &#8211; 30.6.2025<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>Kapit\u00e1lov\u00fd booster APVV-22-0493<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>&#8211;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Program: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>Pl\u00e1n obnovy E\u00da<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Project leader: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>Ing.

Up to date studies show thehighest volumetric hydrogen storage capacity of 150 kg\/m3, out of all conventional alloys, is reached by Mg2FeH6metal hydride. In 2016, Sahlberg et al. in a publication entitled &quot;Superior hydrogen storage in high entropy alloys&quot;confirmed that the high-entropy alloy TiVZrNbHf can store an incredible &quot;superior&quot; of 210 kg\/m3 of hydrogen in itsstructure with a ratio of hydrogen atoms to metal (H \/ M) 2.5. However, the problem of the alloy is its relatively high density of 7.81 g\/cm3, which makes it too high for transport applications. In the project, we will design, prepare andfully characterize a series of completely new high-entropy materials with a low density &lt;7 g\/cm3. Materials thatmeet the targets of absorption capacity (&gt; 2 wt% and&gt; 220 kg H2\/m3), low desorption temperature (&lt;140C) andhigh cyclic absorption \/ desorption stability (&gt; 1000 cycles with capacity drop of less than 10%) we will patent. Thealloys will also be tested in a hydrogen compressor, which will undoubtedly contribute to the further evaluation ofthe outputs of this project. In the project we will use our long-term knowledge and expertise in the design,preparation and characterization of high-entropy alloys.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Duration: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>1.7.2021 &#8211; 30.6.2024<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>BiAll-2 &#8211; V\u00fdvoj nov\u00fdch bioresorbovate\u013en\u00fdch zliatin pre vn\u00fatrotelov\u00e9 implant\u00e1ty<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>Development of new bioresorbable alloys for intracorporeal implants<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Program: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>SRDA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Project leader: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>Ing.

Developed alloys will be preferentially dedicated to fabrication of intracorporal implants for bone tissue engineering field. Members of project research team are highly focused on the investigation of these alloys systems since 2014. Essential and logical continuity of research activities are moving towards to experimental outputs into medical practice. However, this requires a large-scale investments of research capabilities to enhance the plastic deformability of alloys, while maintain their excellent strength properties and slow dissolution rate. Taking into account that healing of traumatic injuries needs different time of implant mechanical support, the great ambition of the project is to prepare alloys with possibility of controlling their dissolution rate. Another research point with hugepotential of success is handling and mastering of 3D printing of well -defined intracorporal implants from proposed alloys. One of the final research tasks will be in-vivo testing of implants dissolution in the environment of animals bone tissue and continuous monitoring of their degredation rate. Several state-of-the-art experimental techniques, such as HR-TEM microscopy or experiments using synchrotron and neutron diffraction techniques, will be used to study the atomic structure and microstructure of materials to meet the project objectives. Modern techniques of selective laser sintering and\/or melting will be used for the production of final implants.

For example, bendable, scalable, portable, and lightweight thermoelectrics can in future sourced flexible displays, medical image sensors, smart wearables, and large-area epapers to name a few. To date, state-of-the-art thermoelectrics is based on inorganic semiconductors that afford high electron mobility but lack in mechanical flexibility. By contrast, organic materials are amply flexible but low in electrical mobility and power output; the inorganic-organic hybrid design is a viable material-level option but has critical device-level issues for practical application. In flexible full-inorganic devices made of such Ag2S-based materials, high electrical mobility yielded a normalized maximum power density up to 0.08 W\u2022m-1 near room temperature under a temperature difference of 20 K, orders of magnitude higher than organic devices and organic-inorganic hybrid devices.

This is due to the number of unique functional characteristics, namely, large tetragonal magnetostriction in small magnetic fields, weak hysteresis, high Curie temperature and weak dependence of properties on temperature, moreover, this alloy has relatively good mechanical properties, which makes it possible to produce thin sheets from it for use in high-frequency devices, such as ultrasound transducers and dispersants. For this purpose, it is necessary to create a given crystallographic texture and microstructure by selecting the optimal modes of rolling and annealing, which is impossible without comprehensive studies of the patterns of structural evolution in this alloy. Despite the good mechanical properties compared to, for example, Terfenol-D, the problem of FeGa double alloy is low plasticity, which can lead to cracking during rolling, which makes it difficult to manufacture sheets of this alloy in industrial conditions. The first way to solve this problem in the project is small additions of alloying elements, which lead to a significant increase in plasticity. We will study the processes of structure and crystallographic texture formation in double and doped alloys, their correlation with the modes of thermomechanical processing, the establishment of the physical causes of such a correlation. The second way is use of new achievements of powder metallurgy for FeGa compaction. This will significantly reduce magnetic loses without the need for thin sheet, but at the same time reduce magnetostriction, our task is find a balance. The purpouse of the project is comprehensive study of the structure formation processes in the FeGa alloy under different conditions and the development of optimal fabrication regimes.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Duration: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>15.10.2020 &#8211; 14.10.2023<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>CEDITEKII &#8211; Rozvoj a podpora v\u00fdskumno \u2013 v\u00fdvojov\u00fdch aktiv\u00edt Centra pre testovanie kvality a diagnostiku materi\u00e1lov v oblastiach \u0161pecializ\u00e1cie RIS3 SK<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>Advancement and support of R&amp;D for &quot;Centre for diagnostics and quality testing of materials&quot; in the domains of the RIS3 SK specialization<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Program: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>\u0160truktur\u00e1lne fondy E\u00da V\u00fdskum a inov\u00e1cie<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Project leader: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>prof.

The strength properties will be provided by high alloying of steels which are based on substituents elements with Si content from 3 to 3,5 wt.%, Alcontent from 0,5 to 1,5 wt.%, Cu content up to 0,5 wt.%, and P content up 0,10 wt.%. The low value of watt losses and high level of magnetic induction will be achieved by means of coarse-grained columnar or coarse-grained equiaxial microstructure with average grain size in the range from 150 to 300\u03bcm and with increased intensity of cube and Goss texture components at the expense of deformation texture. The evolution of the final microstructure will be based on the use of the strain-induced growth of ferrite grains through the thickness of the sheet from itssurface to the central part. At the same time, we want to eliminate the liability to the brittle failure of materials during the cold rolling. It will be realised by optimization of previous thermal deformation exposures in the hot rollingprocess as well as optimization of deformation process of cold rolling with &quot;tailor-made&quot; parameters of rolled steel.The development steel will be used in traction engines of electric vehicles and in high-speed electric motors withhigh requirement for the power.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Duration: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>1.7.2019 &#8211; 30.6.2022<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>PyrMat &#8211; V\u00fdvoj \u017eiaruvzdorn\u00fdch pyrochl\u00f3rnych f\u00e1z pre vysokoteplotn\u00e9 aplik\u00e1cie neeoxidovej keramiky<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>Development of refractory pyrochlore phases for high temperature applications of non-oxide ceramics<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Program: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>SRDA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Project leader: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>prof.

The weight of the automobile could be reduced through the hybrid car body, which consists of differentmaterials based on the light alloys, composite materials and high-strength steel sheets. Solutions related to suchhybrid car body designs must be addressed in to the forming, but also to the joining of the individual parts ofsuch multi-material conception. The aim of the project is the optimization of the forming conditions of aluminiumalloy sheets and high-strength steel sheets to increase the process efficiency.

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.

Applications of these materials are foreseen in the field of medicine &#8211; for implants with targeted dissolution in patient body. Metallic glasses based on bioresorbable chemical elements are interesting due to the unique combination of properties: very low density, Young\u2019s modulus and hardness similar to human bones and toughness exeeding 300MPa. During the poject we will made series of new alloys not presented up to date on which we will characterise atomic structure, thermal stability in addition to functional properties as: mechanical, electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance in enviroments similar to human body solutions as well as cytotoxicity of the osteoblastic cells on their surfaces. Determination of atomic structure of highly disordered materials belongs to the most complicated experimentally theoretical procedures in materials research and in condensed matter physics. Within the project we plan to do also very ambitious experiments on X-ray free electron laser aiming to study dynamics of the solid state systems sampled in femtosecond timescales by X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy.

The main idea is to create new nanostructural systems based on the known 2D and 3D nanocomposite systems (TiB2, Ti-B-N, Ti-Al-N, Cr-Al-N, W-C, W-C-N) doped with additional elements (Ta, V, Y, W, Nb, Si, B a pod.), which will increase toughness and crack resistance of the coatings. They will simultaneously create active barriers supressing oxidation and thus, reduce mechanical properties degradation of the coatings and\/or coated substrate at elevated temperatures. The work, which is a direct continuation of the previous project APVV 0520- 10, also involves the investigation of the relationships among the deposition parameters, resulting structure and properties of new systems for hard coatings and basic understanding of the mechanisms of the nanostructure formation, metastable phase decomposition, formation of stable structures, etc. in the case of novel deposition technologies with high degree of ionization of the sputtered material. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Duration: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>1.7.2015 &#8211; 29.6.2018<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>Modifik\u00e1cia dom\u00e9novej \u0161trukt\u00fary krem\u00edkov\u00fdch elektrotechnick\u00fdch ocel\u00ed pomocou laserov\u00e9ho \u017eiarenia.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>The modification of domain structure of silicon electrotechnical steels by laser beam.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Program: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>VEGA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Project leader: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>Mgr.

One of the most important electrical parameter is the high value of specific resistivity, which is ensured by a minimum content of appropriately selected electrical insulating coating with respect to the individual ferromagnetic powder particles completely isolated from each other. The present project is concerned with preparation and overall characterization of SMCs from i) preparation of a ferromagnetic material, ii) through the chemical synthesis of dielectric coatings and the coating process on powder particles, iii) up to final characterization of magnetic, electrical and mechanical properties of the prepared SMCs. Soft magnetic powder material (SMM) will be represented by Permalloy-type alloy (NiFe) with addition of suitable additives prepared by high energetic milling. SMM will be characterized from the microstructure and morphology point of view by use of SEM an XRD analysis. The resulting structural characteristics will be confronted with magnetic properties. The excellent SMM will be selected from prepared alloying powder and further coated by electrically insulating layer. Theprepared core\/shell powders will be compacted by powder metallurgical methods (cold uniaxial pressing) and finally heat treatment.

The activity will be performed as a part of the project. The study will be directed on investigation of temperature and deformation induced structure development processes such as polygonisation, recrystallization, grain boundary motion and development of crystallographic texture. The experimental material will be electrotechnical steels with Si content up to 2,5 wt.%. Deformation energy will be used for selective growth of grains possessing cubic texture. The deformation energy will have a different intensity level that is dependent on elasticity modulus of differently oriented grains. Mathematical models of behavior of strain stress dependences for particular crystallographic orientations during cold rolling process will be developed. These models will be used for optimization of cold rolling process. The optimization will be done in order to obtain maximal gradient of deformation intensities between grains having cubic and deformation texture components. The gradient will provide a driving force that will be used during dynamical heat treatment. The aims will be a development of columnar microstructure with increased intensity of cubic texture components. The experimentally treated materials will be subjected to electromagnetic properties measurements. On the base the proposed research a new thermo-mechanical treatment process fro semi-finish electrical steels will be proposed. This proposed process will be economically more reasonable in comparison to the now existing ones and will provide better magnetic properties for steels with content of Si up to 2.5% wt.. The process also allows decreasing of the Si content in the quality grades (M 340 to M 560 \u2013 50E) that in turn provides higher heat conductivity.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Duration: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>1.6.2010 &#8211; 31.12.2013<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>FADNS &#8211; Formovanie a degrad\u00e1cia nanorozmern\u00fdch \u0161trukt\u00far<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>Formation and degradation nanograin size structures<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Program: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>VEGA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Project leader: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>Prof. Ing.

Two groups of main objectives will be investigated by joint efforts of the Slovak and Slovenian groups. First, since magnetic properties of NO ES is very dependent on second phase particles (precipitates). Precipitates can have negative effects because they limit the grain growth during the final annealing and the direct negative effect is pinning of domain wall movements. The aim of the project therefore is to investigate the (nano)structures of NO ES in order to characterize the non-metallic inclusions and precipitate populations in ferrite matrix and determine the size, morphology, quantity and distribution. Purpose of the project is to produce a model for assessment of relation between size and morphology of the inclusions and (nano)precipitates and core loss.The second group of objectives consists in the studies of segregations of carbon on grain boundaries. A quite important role plays a carbon segragation at interfaces in the NO ES. This solute elemnt has an enormous effect on grain boundary migration and even very small ammount of concentration may significantly affects the recrystallization or grain growth phenomenta taking place in the NO steel during its heat treatment. However the knowladge of whow and whther indeed the carbon influence the grain boundary migration, even at small concentrations, in steel is still radumentary. This draws a need to sudy more deeply the presnce of carbon, even at small concentrations, in NO ES.Hence, the prospective results could lead to significant improvement in microstructure and texture control which have a direct affect on electromagnetic properties of NO ES.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Duration: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>1.3.2010 &#8211; 31.12.2011<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>Termodynamick\u00fd opis syst\u00e9mov B-C a Fe-B-C<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>Thermodynamic description of the B-C and Fe-B-C systems<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Program: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>VEGA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Project leader: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>RNDr. Homolov\u00e1 Viera, PhD.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%' style='vertical-align: top;'>Annotation: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>The project knots on project: \u201d Thermodynamic analysis of binary and ternary systems with boron\u201d, and deals with study of phase and phase equilibria in the Fe-B-C system and in B-C subsystem.

The steels and welds have been planned for the construction of USCB-ultra-super-critical-boilers. Joints will be prepared at various technology conditions (weld metal, heat input) with two approaches of the post weld heat treatment (PWHT), namely: austenitization+tempering and tempering without austenitization. On the base of the microstructural evaluation,  calculations of residual stresses, and results of mechanical tests (hardness, tensile tests at 20 adn 600\u00b0C, short trem crep test) the possibility of the omission of austenitization will be judged, that could result in decisive economical effect \u2013 energy savings and avoiding using of a large furnace for the treatmet at the temperatures above 1000\u00b0C.  Experimental assesment of phase composition and thermodynamic calculations of equilibrium phases enable the investigated steels phase evolution diagrams constuction. The study of the influence of deformation on precipitation of phases in tube bends in relationship with the heat treatment used and resulted property changes is the second scope of the project, aimed to the HT optimization. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Duration: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>1.1.2007 &#8211; 31.12.2009<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class='project_list'>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>V\u00fdskum keramick\u00fdch materi\u00e1lov pre vysoko koroz\u00edvne \u00faprostredia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class='bold' colspan='2'>Research of ceramics materials for high corrosive enviroments<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Program: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>SRDA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width='30%'>Project leader: <\/td>\n<td width='70%'>prof.
