Research areas
- Plasma processing of materials and biointerphases
- Inorganic and hybrid (organic/inorganic) coatings and nanomaterials
- Synthesis of carbon nanomaterials and their functionalization
- Advanced characterization of thin films and surfaces
Main objectives
- Develop plasma and microwave-based processes offering environmentally friendly and unique pathways for the material synthesis and modification.
- Understand the interaction of low-temperature plasma with surfaces, especially in plasma polymerization and plasma-based atomic layer processes, for improved tunability and selectivity.
- Develop atmospheric pressure plasma sources breaking the vacuum technology limitations.
- Demonstrate the power of nanotechnologies by synthesis of functional nanomaterials (carbon nanotubes or nanowalls, graphene, modified polymer nanofibers, metal-based nanoparticles).
- Prepare novel biomaterials and biointerphases for biosensors, tissue engineering, wound healing, antimicrobial effects and theranostics purposes.
- Prepare functional surfaces and interfaces with enhanced sensing properties, match-made surface free energy, or extremely large surface-to-volume ratio.
- Develop methodology and standardization of the scanning probe microscopy (SPM) data analysis using the open-source software, Gwyddion.
