Also, it was discussed about further investigations.
LABORATORY EQUIPMENT
Following equipment, financed by MATCROSS, was bought:
- Autosorb iQ Surface Area Analyzer (Quantochrome Instruments, USA)
- Handheld potentiostat/galvanostat with appropriate software.
- Modular flow cells for three tick film sensors
- Screen printed electrode (adequate for flow cell): C, CE: Pt, RE: Ag/Ag/Cl
- Mini Potentiostat and
- High temperature reactor with calorimeter for hydrothermal synthesis of the nanomaterials
VISIT OF SZEGED
During the period of December 10 through 15, 2012, Marijana Kragulj and Dragana Tomašević stayed at the University of Szeged, Department of Applied and Environmental Chemistry. The aim of the visit were: taking part in procedures for synthesis of nanomaterilas (multiwalled carbon nanotube, nanoscale zero valent coated with bentonite and nanoscale zero valent coated with carboxymethyl celulose) and characterisation of synthesized nanomaterials. For characterization of synthesized nanomaterilas, were used following techniques: Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy disperse X-ray spectrometry (EDS), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-Ray Diffractometry (XRD). Obtained results are important for further research in the MATCROSS project.
THE EIGHT MEETING AND VISIT OF UNIVERSITY OF SZEGED
February 21, 2013, Szeged, Hungary
Dr Valéria Guzsvány presented the results of the test measurements on the meeting in Hungarian language entitled: "Kémiai érzékelők és a nanoskála" (Chemical sensors and the nanoscale).
Dr Valéria Guzsvány stayed at the University of Szeged, Department of Applied and Environmental Chemistry. The aim of the visit was the characterization of selected composite nanomaterials important for the realization of the project tasks. For characterization of nanomaterials, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were applied.
