Inorganic non-metallic materials 2024

On the 7th and 8th February 2024, 29th annual Doctoral Students' Seminar Inorganic non-metallic materials took place.

Many doctoral students from UCT Prague and other Czech and Slovak universities were in attendance. Participants had the opportunity to see 20 different scientific presentations and our committee then chose 5 best ones to be awarded.

• 1st place - Ing. Petra Šimonová (UCT Prague) - Microwave sintered SnO₂-ZnO based ceramics
• 2nd place - Ing. Jan Zich (University of Pardubice) - Synthesis traps of polycrystalline Bi₂O₂Se
• 3rd place - Naser Hosseini MSc. (Slovak Academy of Sciences) - Joining of SiC-based Ceramics to Themselves for Extreme Environments Applications
• 4th place - Ing. Kateřina Křehlíková (UCT Prague) - Ternary cesium lithium iodide crystals grown by vertical Bridgman method for scintillation applications
• 5th place - Guido de la Torre, MSc. (Slovak Academy of Sciences) - Heated and plasma treated silicon nitride with different sintering additives for biomedical
  application

Additional award from the Czech Ceramic Society was given to Ing. Klára Pulcová (UCT Prague) for her  lecture Shrinkage and expansion of hydraulic binder from Metakaolin, Ca_SO₄ AII and Ca(OH)₂
