Applied Plasmochemistry
Research group at the Department of Plasma Physics and Technology
Our goal is to give plasma a specific purpose and use. We study and develop unique technologies for the treatment of liquids, gases, and surface layers in cooperation with Czech companies. Our flagship technology is CaviPlasma, developed in our laboratories with partners from the Brno University of Technology and the Institute of Botany of the CAS. We further study this internationally patented liquid treatment technology in application projects in many fields ranging from safety research and environmental technologies to agriculture and aquaculture.
We have strong know-how in techniques for continuous deposition of functional layers under atmospheric pressure - e.g. superhydrophilic or biocompatible, or in plasma treatment technologies for waste air (also patented). Our team has broad experience in the diagnostics of plasma sources and products, which is essential for successful development and implementation in industrial conditions.
