Supervisor:

Department of Materials Engineering

Synopsis:

Modern plasma-based technologies will be introduced as an effective tool for creating new materials and modifying them. The use of the technologies will involve the surface treatment of both metallic materials as well as polymeric and composite materials such as nanomaterials and nanopowders.

Requirements:

Syllabus of lectures:

Basic and special technologies and their use in material engineering

Coatings prepared by PVD and CVD methods

Coatings prepared by a combination of PACVD or HIPIMS methods

Spray coatings (plasma, HVOF, cold)

Plasma polymerization and surface modification

Mechanical properties (thickness, adhesion, nano-hardness, tribology, roughness)

Chemical composition and morphology (EDS, WDS, EBSD, XPS, SEM, TEM, XRD)

Application of plasma sprays

Laser applications

Application of PVD and CVD layers (automotive, medical, etc.)

Surface modification (adhesion, wettability)
