    Co-proposer RNDr. Anna Mackova, PhD., UJF, v.v.i. Název Analýza plasmaticky připravených polymerních tenkých vrstev jadernými analytickými metodami. Title Analysis of Plasma Polymer Thin Films by the nuclear analytical methods
    The proposed project was focused on the analysis and characterization of thin films prepared by plasma polymerization or plasma deposition. Study of polymer composites synthesis, metal/polymer structures and materials for wear resistant, optical and electronics applications as well as for sensors. The NPI team served in characterization of prepared polymers, composites using ion beam analytical methods for elemental depth profiling, provided irradiation modified polymers and investigated diffusion processes within. The work on the project was accomplished in close collaboration with the Charles University – Department of Macromolecular Physics (production of polymer films and plasma deposited thin films), the J.Evangelista Purkyne University (Atomic Force Microscopy of film surface), Masaryk University in Brno and foreign partners within broad COST frame work. The results obtained by nuclear analytical methods at NPI will be correlated and combined with the results obtained by other alternative techniques (AFM, STM) to obtain more complete characterization of the thin films. The main goal of the proposed investigation is to optimize the deposition technique of plasma deposited and polymeric thin films and to improve their properties.
