CEITEC scientists secure prestigious EIC Pathfinder grant 🎯 The High-Performance Materials and Coatings for Industry (HPMC4I) research group at CEITEC - Central European Institute of Technology Brno University of Technology (Vysoké učení technické v Brně) has been awarded a prestigious grant under the EIC Pathfinder Open program. This European program is focused on supporting research and innovation in new technologies and approaches that can have a significant impact on the market and society. Out of 1,110 project proposals, the commission selected only 45, making the overall success rate just 4 % 🚀 Within the grant, Edgar B. Montufar will lead the ambitious international project BiCeps as the only Czech coordinator, aiming to create a new type of actuator through additive manufacturing that mimics natural muscle movement 💪⚙️ “Motors and drive systems are everywhere, as is additive manufacturing. But to use additive manufacturing to create something that isn’t a motor yet can generate movement in a different way is a unique concept,” Edgar explains 💡 Read more in our newly published article ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eGBSzzhe #CEITECScience Ladislav Celko GlaCerHub #AdditiveManufacturing #Actuators #Engineering #EUFunding #brnoregion #CzechRpublic

📣🌟Our latest research paper, titled "A Comparative Study of the Impact of La2O3 and La2Zr2O7 Dispersions on Molybdenum Microstructure, Mechanical Properties, and Fracture", has been accepted by the Springer Nature #JournalOfMaterialsEngineeringAndPerformance. This article was written in collaboration with the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Brno University of Technology, AdMaS - Advanced Materials, Structures and Technologies (Fakulta stavební Vysokého učení technického v Brně), Ústav fyziky materiálů AV ČR, v. v. i., Institute of Geotechnics of the Slovak academy of Sciences and Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Thanks to all co-authors for their cooperation and expertise, which we greatly appreciate! 📖 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eUZhGbp6 The paper focuses on the effect of lanthanum zirconate (La2Zr2O7) particles on the microstructure and mechanical behavior of an experimental molybdenum oxide dispersion-strengthened alloy. It also focuses on the preparation of novel Mo–La2Zr2O7 composite using high-energy ball milling and spark plasma sintering, and the comparison of its microstructural and mechanical properties with pure Mo and Mo–La2O3 ODS alloy counterparts. #MaterialsScience #Powders, #HighEnergyBallMilling, #DBTT, #Publication, #Science, #Research, #CeitecScience

We are delighted to share with You that as a part of the #TACR project FW03010160, “The Technology of Electrochemical Polishing of Additively Manufactured Parts for the Materials 316SS and AlSi10Mg” was the first steps and proofs-of-concept developed in our #HPMC4I laboratory at #CEITEC. At the beginning of this project, the requirement was simple: “Just put some 3D printed parts in some chemical solution and leave it in it for a few minutes”😏. Michaela Remešová, Lenka Klakurkova and Vendula Bednaříková have done a great job and have come a long way since the first requirement, which enabled to take it to another level💪. Thanks to the successful collaboration of RIAT, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Brno University of Technology, High-Performance Materials and Coatings for Industry (HPMC4I), CEITEC - Central European Institute of Technology, Vysoké učení technické v Brně, and ONE3D, we have taken this technology from the laboratory to the industrial scale. It has not always been an easy-going collaboration, mainly due to the project topic interdisciplinarity and all partner's different points of view from chemical, materials science, additive manufacturing and mechanical engineering perspectives, but we successfully did it. However, there is still a great potential for further improvement and the opportunity to take it together up to an even higher level. On behalf of the #HPMC4I research group, I want to congratulate our partners and notice that these collaborations and awards move us forward 🚀🌟🤝 #CEITECScience #MaterialsScience #SurfaceEngineering #AdditiveManufacturing #Electrochemistry #ResearchAndDevelopment #VUT #Collaborations
