The aim of the project is to remove potentially carcinogenic cobalt and to minimise the nickel content (hazardous to the environment) from the most commonly provided phosphate concentrates for the generally used pre-treatment of steel surfaces prior to the application of organic coatings (coating systems). A further objective will be the development of a complex anti-corrosive unit (conversion coating - organosilane coating system) surface treatment, leading to an increase in the service life of steel
components of the transport infrastructure, while reducing the environmental impact.
"The project Development of an "environment friendly" anti-corrosion surface treatment system for transport infrastructure equipment is co-financed with state support from the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic under the Environment for Life Programme. This project is funded under the National Recovery Plan from the European Recovery and Resilience Facility."

The project focuses on the use of low-temperature plasma microdischarge and its environmental applications with the aim of achieving a reduction of gaseous emissions, mainly of organic substances, which are generated in the process areas of the manufacturing industry. The R solution is based on the design and optimisation of the reactor design, the energy source and the choice of materials, including the support and the appropriate type of catalyst. The design of the combination of reactor shape and material with the appropriate type of catalyst will thus enable the decomposition and reduction of mainly volatile organic hydrocarbons (VOCs) with the achievement of the required concentration limits of the legislation at low energy consumption of the process.
"The project Application of low-temperature plasma to reduce gaseous emissions is co-financed with state support from the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic under the TREND Programme. This project is funded under the National Recovery Plan from the European Recovery and Resilience Facility."

SAFER focuses on the research and development of a family of ceramic matrix composites (CMC) with self-healing capabilities. As monolithic ceramics are brittle, their use is rather limited. With embedded carbon fibres, the ceramic behaves more ductile and has a high temperature resistance. In the SAFER project, this excellent material will be further functionalised with carbon nanostructures to improve its mechanical properties and to gain self-healing properties. The production of the material will be carried out by large-scale injection moulding followed by pyrolysis and LSI process. Another objective is to recycle the prepared material in order to reduce the carbon footprint of the production process and the production costs. LCA will be used for the production of the material to determine the environmental impact and adjust the research if necessary. Fiber ceramics do not emit any fine dust in frictional applications and the material can be used in frictional processes and for power generation in hydrogen engines.
"The project Fiber-reinforced ceramic composite with self-healing capabilities is co-funded with state support from the Czech Technology Agency under the Epsilon Programme, ERA-NET Cofund/Partnership call. This project is funded under the National Recovery Plan from the European Recovery and Resilience Facility."
