First month of summer time I spent for the LLP-ERASMUS individual training programme internship in the Joanneum Research Forschunsgesellschaft mbH Materials – Institute of Surface Technologies and Photonics Functional Surfaces from 01.06.2014 to 28.06.2014 in Leoben – Austria.
I had an opportunity to get experience and perform experiments on application of the plasma polymerization methods and tribological measurements. I completed the following plan:
1. Familiarization with laboratory equipment and experimental procedures.
2. Preparation of thin films by the plasma polymerization methods.
3. Training in tribological measurements.
4. Micro-mechanical analysis of the polyelectrolyte thin films.
5. Introduction of nano-particles into polyelectrolyte multilayer by plasma polymerization method.
