PURPLEGAIN – Základy a aplikácie purpurových baktérií v biotechnológií pre obnovu znečistených zdrojov
Fundamentals and applications of purple bacteria biotechnology for resource recovery from waste
Program: COST
Project leader: RNDr. Pudlák Michal, CSc.
Annotation: PURPLEGAIN aims to create a European network to share information, facilitating technology and knowledge transfer between the academic and industrial sectors, related to PPB applications for resource recovery from organic waste sources. Resource recovery includes wastewater or organic waste, open or closed environments, in single or chain processes. The network associates fundamental-focused and applied-research groups, improving lab-scale technology optimization through mechanistic modeling. It benefits the technology transfer from applied-research groups to industry, considerably improving process design.

METAMYLC – Štrukturalizačné javy v systémoch s nanočasticami
Structuralization phenomena in systems with nanoparticles
Program: SRDA
Project leader: doc. RNDr. Kopčanský Peter, CSc.
Annotation: The structuralization phenomena plays key role in fundamental as well as in applied research. The proposed project is devoted to the study of the influence of nanoparticles on the structuralization phenomena in various systems as well as on the structuralization of the nanoparticles alone. Some special kinds of nanoparticles will be prepared, which will be used for study these effects. The main aim is to study the influence of the nanoparticles on the structuralization phenomena in two different kind of systems as liquid crystalline mater and amyloid structures. In the first system the magnetic particles can increase the sensitivity of liquid crystals on an external magnetic field. In the amyloid structures the nanoparticles can significantly influence the amyloid aggregation of proteins, which is responsible for amyloid diseases as Alzheimher, Parkinson and Dibetes II The prepared nanoparticles will also be used to build their 3D structures (metamaterials), i.e. to create systems with unusual physical properties as for example negative reflection.

NANOFLUID – Centrum excelentnosti SAV – Nanokvapaliny
Centre excelence of SAS – Nanofluids
Program: Centrá excelentnosti SAV
Project leader: doc. RNDr. Kopčanský Peter, CSc.
Annotation: Centre of NANOFLUIDS is oriented to development of technology of nanoparticles, as are magnetic nanoparticles, coloid gold, nanotubes and their complex characterisation from with aspect to their magnetic and morphologic properties. The prepared nanoparticles will be funcionalised for applications in biomedicine, biotechnology and electrotechnical industry. In the case of biomedical applications the interaction of nanoparticles with biomacromolecules will be investigated, mostly with aspect of the nanohazard, drug targeting delivery, hyperthermia and treatment many human diseases as e.g. Alzheimer\’s diseases, etc. For technical applications the centre will investigate opportunity of application in LCD’s, sensors of magnetic field, as an insulated and cooling medium in high power transformers and converters, exploation multilayered nanotubes and fullerenes as electrodes in device that could converts sun energy into electricity.
