Institute of Materials Science
The Institute of Materials Chemistry offers business entities the possibility to consult practical production technological problems, chemical, structural and physico-mechanical analysis of both raw materials and final products. We provide special measurements of chemical, physical, structural, thermomechanical, corrosion and processing properties of building materials, ceramics, plastics, composites and metals. We also provide custom development of new materials for construction, construction applications, automotive, electronics and electrical engineering, ballistic protection, reconstruction medicine, biodegradable packaging, IT hardware, 3D print, adhesives and anti-corrosion treatment of metals.
We specialize in functional nanomaterials, low-density construction and insulating materials, geopolymers and other cement-free mortars, controlled life-time materials, refractory materials, high-performance concretes, hybrid cements, materials with high content of secondary raw materials, polymeric and inorganic biomaterials, materials based on PLA and PHB biopolymers and corrosion protection of magnesium alloys.
The Institute of Materials Chemistry is responsible for bachelor‘s and follow-up master‘s study program Chemistry and Technology of Materials. The aim of the bachelor program is to provide students with a good knowledge of the basic principles of inorganic, organic, physical and analytical chemistry and chemical engineering, as well as a basic orientation in macromolecular chemistry and in the structure and properties of solids, i.e. inorganic materials, polymers and metals. In the follow-up study the theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed in engineering practice are deepened, especially in the synthesis and characterization of polymer, composite, ceramic and construction materials, in plastics processing technology and polymer composites production, in production technologies of ceramic and construction materials and in surface treatment of metals and other materials. The best graduates can continue in doctoral studies in two fields, namely Chemistry, Technology and Properties of Materials and Macromolecular Chemistry.
