Course detail
Plasmochemical Technologies
FCH-MC_PCTAcad. year: 2021/2022
The course is focused on the plasma chemical processes and technologies that are nowadays used in laboratory as well as industrial praxis. Besides theoretical lectures on particular plasma chemical processes, practical presentations given by experts on particular technologies applied both in research as well as industrial praxis are scheduled. The excursions to selected laboratories or industrial units are organized if it is possible.
