Energy and Composite Materials

Research direction

Energy and Composite Materials

The design of energy storage devices at the Tomas Bata University (TBU) in Zlín, Czechia is carried out within the University Institute centres Centre for Technology Transfer and Centre of Polymer Systems. TBU has been actively developing energy storage devices in two main directions: supercapacitors and lithium-based batteries. However, we examine also other scientific questions with connection to preparation of magnetic nanoparticles and design of matrices for advanced bio composite systems, such as natural biocompatible and biodegradable polymers. Finally, we consider the clean energy transition going far beyond technology solutions and include life-cycle assessment and other socio-economic aspects into research.

Advanced batteries and supercapacitors technologies

Future of energy storage is represented of batteries and supercapacitors technologies. Thus, worldwide many efforts are perform to accomplish the transition toward decarbonisation and electrification.  Our research group at UTB is involved in development distinct direction which cope with advanced technologies related to electrochemical storage of energy:

Development of new generation of rechargeable batteries with improved electrochemical features and new chemistries, such as all-solid state batteries or hybrid technology;

Advanced symmetric and asymmetric supercapacitors or hybridized structures based on 2D and 3D nanostructure which enhance energy density and stabilize charge transfer;

Optimization and engineering of fabrication technologies for development of flexible structures in organic and aqueous electrolytes.

Magnetic Hyperthermia and Polymer Memristors

Research in this area focuses on the preparation of materials for various applications of conductive, dielectric and magnetic materials, from electromagnetic shielding, selectively reflective surfaces and selectively permeable plate materials, to the materials intended for the hyperthermic treatment of cancer, which have already been patented.

The material design is mainly focused on the preparation of magnetic nanoparticles, possibly also on the application or modification of magnetic and other fillers (particles and short fibres) from commercial sources into composite materials with a polymer matrix. In the field of synthesis, the group also successfully works with polyaniline and similar conductive polymers. The combination of a magnetic inorganic core and an electrically conductive polymer shell creates a core-shell particle with significantly improved properties. The ability to convert the absorbed energy of an alternating magnetic field into heat is used in cases which require a heat source in volume; in the most demanding application it is hyperthermia. The mentioned materials are also used to produce conductive composites for electromagnetic shielding. Selective reflectivity is then achieved by the preparation of so-called metamaterials, where, in addition to the material composition, the geometry of the individual components of the composite contributes to the function. Flat structures with material patterning are prepared by material printing methods.

Sino-EU Joint Laboratory of New Energy Materials and Devices

The current clean energy transition forms the basis of the ongoing transformation of the global energy sector from fossil sources to renewable energy sources. In this context, many scientific questions arise, including the types and forms of stakeholder participation, ownership issues, financial implications and other socio-economic aspects.

The requirements for future energy systems need to be examined in the context of key trends such as decarbonisation, decentralization and digitization. In addition, it is increasingly important to respond flexibly to innovations in the renewable energy sector, energy price volatility, and subsequently consider environmental, economic and social impact assessments of energy materials, technologies and equipment.

Energy and Medical Composite Systems

The subject of interest of this research group is the study and preparation of matrices for advanced biocomposite systems as well as active/functional components that can be incorporated into these matrices. The matrices are mainly polymer gels made of synthetic and natural biocompatible and biodegradable polymers. A special case is the use of bacterial cellulose from the team´s own production in bioreactors. These gels are used, for instance, as cover wounds in medicine, in pervaporation processes and are also applied (in cooperation with the group of Composites with electrical and magnetic properties) as an electrolyte in supercapacitors. Mineralized gels serve as templates in bone replacement surgery. The carbonate-based filler is prepared directly in the structure of the gel matrix by the biomimetic mineralization method. As functional agents, synthetic polypeptoids and peptoid nanoplates, which have significant biological activity, are used.

Socio-economic Aspects of Energy

The current clean energy transition forms the basis of the ongoing transformation of the global energy sector from fossil sources to renewable energy sources. In this context, many scientific questions arise, including the types and forms of stakeholder participation, ownership issues, financial implications and other socio-economic aspects.

The requirements for future energy systems need to be examined in the context of key trends such as decarbonisation, decentralization and digitization. In addition, it is increasingly important to respond flexibly to innovations in the renewable energy sector, energy price volatility, and subsequently consider environmental, economic and social impact assessments of energy materials, technologies and equipment.

Polymer processing

Research group

Polymer processing

In addition to the material development of new plastics for existing applications, current development in the field of polymer materials processing follows the use of existing materials for completely new applications or the increasingly frequent need to define the use of recycled (waste) materials for the production of existing or new products. With regard to this fact, to ensure long-term sustainability of effective progress of innovation activities in this area, it is not only appropriate to take all these aspects into account in production practice, but in accordance with modern production methods it is useful to use available software tools for suggestion of optimization of technological conditions as well as for designing the processing tools. The subject of research and development activities of the Polymer Processing group is focused on selected segments of modern processing technologies. These include mainly the preparation of fibers, nonwovens, polymeric foams and ceramics and metal-filled components with their subsequent sintering. Further the activities focus on processing of thermosetting materials and materials with reduced flammability, injection molding of multi-component products and finally the advanced 3D printing of hierarchically structured materials. Despite the fact that these processing methods differ quite significantly in their technological requirements, the unquestionable common denominator is to know the rheological behaviour of processed macromolecular systems, which is the main controlling parameter in setting and optimizing all technological production processes. The connections between material properties of inputs (thermal, rheological, mechanical and other properties), processing conditions of used technologies (temperature, pressure, flow rate, ..) and achieved parameters of final products (adhesion, mechanical, optical, barrier properties, flammability characteristics, etc.) are investigated/ observed. To achieve an optimized processing process, it is important to know the flow and viscoelastic properties of used materials (modern rotary, oscillating and high pressure capillary rheometers are used). Further the knowledge of influence of selected technological conditions on final characteristics of prepared testing and functional samples and their mutual relations is used/ applied. In the field of polymer materials processing, the group offers comprehensive solutions to research and development tasks as well as problems brought by industrial practice. It is possible to prepare trial products, testing samples, semi-finished products and other products on equipment of laboratory and pilot size. The expertise of staff and the equipment cover areas of continuous and discontinuous processes such as compounding using twin screws, blowing and extrusion of 5-layer films, multicomponent spinning and preparation of nonwovens, blowing of hollow products, thermoforming, extrusion of plastic and elastomer profiles, 1K and 2K injection, injection moulding of highly filled systems, including systems filled with abrasive fillers (PIM - Powder Injection Moulding), debinding and sintering in special ovens with controlled atmosphere, 3D printing.

Environmental Technologies

Research direction

Environmental Technologies

The field of research in environmental materials and technologies includes the development, characterization and processing of polymer systems in particular that are capable of specific interactions with the environment, such as the ability of a material to undergo biodegradation or, on the contrary, resistance to pathogenic microorganisms.

Another area of ​​interest of the research group is the use of natural and renewable resources, specifically biologically active substances, biomass or inorganic components, for further application in practice with the expectation of new added value of the product. Research activities include detailed characterizations of the developed materials, which in this case requires a multidisciplinary approach comprising areas of scientific disciplines such as chemistry, physics, microbiology, ecology and the necessary processing technologies.

Within the Centre of Polymer Systems and cooperation with practice, the research group also ensures the operation and professional development of analytical and microbiological laboratories.

Head of the group: prof. Ing. Vladimír Sedlařík, Ph.D.

Biomaterials

Research group

Biomaterials

Biomaterials combine advanced material properties with biocompatibility. The research group is therefore interested in preparing smart materials that can respond to external stimuli, such as electric fields, by combining synthetic polymers, biopolymers and other materials such as metals or ceramics. The prepared materials are then tested by the lab for biocompatibility by studying the interaction with eukaryotic and prokaryotic model systems. The instrumentation allows testing of a wide range of biological properties of materials, from basic parameters such as cytotoxicity through interaction at biological interfaces to the growth of scaffolds in bioreactors. Tumour or immortalized lines or stem cells are used as model systems. In addition to biomaterials, the group also tests cosmetics, e.g. for photo-toxicity or transdermal absorption.

Head of the group: prof. Ing. Petr Humpolíček, Ph.D.
