The NOMATECH project grant consisted of three main activities:

  • The main activity 1, realized by FunGlass – Centre for Functional and Surface Functionalized Glass was focused on the development of new types of advanced non-metallic inorganic materials and coatings in particular based on glass and ceramics for industrial applications for the 21st century, the development of advanced high-porous materials prepared by the alkaline-activated polymerization of waste materials and the study of degradation mechanisms of these materials and structures in order to prolong their life and reduce environmental impact.
  • The main activity 2, realized by Faculty of Industrial Technologies focused on the functionalization of filler surfaces into polymeric materials by means of plasma discharge and microwave radiation; development, preparation and modification of progressive polymeric materials, testing properties of new materials and predicting properties of studied materials and composites by mathematical-physical modeling for preparation of materials in industrial applications for 21st century industry.
  • The main activity 3, realized by Faculty of Special Technology, was focused on improvement and optimization of utility properties of high-strength metal materials

 Results:

Based on elaborated models describing soles and properties of anorg.-org, nanocomposite layers for the protection of materials against micro-organism populations, the most suitable composition of these layers was found in the OTES system.

The independent research and development of advanced highly porous materials prepared by the alkali-activated polymerization of waste glass, using flame synthesis technology, which has been improved within the project. The development of this apparatus for the production of solid and hollow glass and glass-ceramic microspheres by means of flame synthesis is completed and the patent is registered.

Unique software development to calculate the surface tension of a sitting and hanging drop

Increased durability and quality of surface treatment of materials

New types of progressive fillers and additives for polymers and composites
