The Centre for Material Science

 

The Centre, consisting of The Scanning Electron Microscopy Laboratory, The Transmission Electron Microscopy Laboratory, The Scanning Probe Microscopy Laboratory and The X-Ray Diffraction Analysis Laboratory, supports research programs in analysis and characterisation of fullerenes, thin films and coatings. We study properties of materials for various industrial applications in the fields of electronics and mechanical engineering.

Laboratory of Modern Materials

 

The Laboratory is aimed at development of powder metallurgy technology for sliding bushings with controlled porosity and tribological characteristics. We study effects of lubricants and IF-WS2 nanoparticles mixture flows in porous channels on tribological properties of porous composites. Development of new impregnation technologies for porous bearings is yet another direction of our research.

Plasma Physics Laboratory

 

The Laboratory conducts both basic and applied research of low temperature plasmas which have important industrial applications. Our current research concerns the development of plasma sources that use both electromagnetic waves and steady electric and magnetic fields to  impart energy to particles. We also intend to train the hit engineering students in principles of plasma physics and technology.

Laboratory for Superconductivity

   
       
                 
 

Laboratory of Tribology

 

The mainstream of the Laboratory activities lies in mechanical-mathematical modelling, computer simulations and experimental investigations of friction and wear behaviour of various materials. New and standard experimental research methods are used to study the deformation and fracture of surface layers subject to specific contact conditions. We study friction and wear from macro- to nano-scale levels.
