Zlín, 19 May 2022 - The Vizionáři 2021 (Visionaries 2021) prize was awarded to the scientists for the AlterBio project, which aims to research, develop and propose the commercialization of innovative antimicrobial systems for plastics, coatings, beauty products and textiles. Antimicrobial components can be bonded to polymer systems so that they protect only the surface of the material and have no environmental impact. In this way, long-term antimicrobial protection of treated materials can be achieved without adverse health and environmental impacts.
Members of the Inovato Cluster visited the Centre for Polymer Systems on 12 May 2022. Inovato is an association of companies and organisations that have come together to seek synergies and develop innovations and innovation projects.
Students Pavel Ilčík and Aleš Šenkár succeeded in the Enersol international competition. They study the first year of Applied Chemistry at the Secondary School of Industry in Otrokovice.
Zlín – 5 May 2022. Scientists from the Centre for Polymer Systems (CPS) at Tomas Bata University (TBU) in Zlín are intensely involved in the development of nanotechnologies. Specifically, they are working in studying novel pigments for anti-corrosion coating systems. It is exactly what is intended to protect, for example, metal structures, as well as railway, road and building elements.
The Centre of Polymer Systems is a new unit established thanks to the project of the same name financed from the European Funds and from the state budget of the Czech Republic. The building is located in the centre of the Regional city of Zlín and is run by the Tomas Bata University in Zlin.
Focusing on applied research of polymers, the Centre is connecting the academic and business spheres.
The aim of the project is to significantly expand the existing research infrastructure of TBU in Zlín and to create the Centre of Polymer Systems (CPS) as a dynamic research unit with long-term sustainability and high added value. Being an important regional research centre, CPS will support the national plastics and rubber industries from the perspective of the personnel, technology and knowledge and will at the same time operate internationally at all levels of its activities.
