Description:
The project is a common project of two research departments, The Department of Inorganic Technology and the Department of Physical Chemistry. The scientific and research goals of the project are focused on several main areas. One area is catalysis, covering both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis of various industrially important reactions, including the preparation and characterization of new catalysts and the study of their properties. Another key topic are pharmacokinetic studies focused on the research of enterosolvent capsules prepared using 3D printing. For example, the possibility of increasing the polysaccharide content will be studied with respect to the properties of the filament and the prepared capsules. Thermal analysis will also be used to study the properties of polymers in relation to filament preparation by extrusion. In the field of chalcogenide glass-forming materials, nucleation and crystallization processes in these materials will be investigated. Other studied properties will include viscosity and self-diffusion. Research on inorganic pigments will focus on the study of synthesis conditions of tungstate pigments based on wolframite and scheelite. Chiral magnetically responsive membranes based on Nafion and other polymer materials will also be investigated. In addition, starch will be studied and characterized and subsequently used as a raw material for the synthesis of starch-based hydrogels intended for agricultural applications.
