Innovation of polymer nanocomposite materials

"Green" polymer additives and possibilities of efficient use of epoxy waste (Event–Public)

11/04/2024 - Zilina, SK

Invited experts will have lectures, seminars and meetings with students and researchers of the host partner on a selected topic which is related to the proposed project. The laboratories of each partner will be presented during the visit of the speakers. This will contribute to the distribution of specialised knowledge in the V4 countries - both in the university environment and in the industrial university environment.

Dr. Richárd Cselkó - Role and methods of partial discharge measurement in the evaluation of electrical insulation systems.

Konrad Kierczynski, Ph.D. Eng. - Properties of liquid-solid insulation composed of bio-oil and bio-polymer (cellulose) used in power transformers.

Ing. Ondřej Michal, Ph.D. - Sustainable, Bio-Based, and Non-Conventional Additives for High Voltage Insulation Systems

Lectures will be held on-site and on-line Thursday April 11th. Lectures start at 14:00. The online broadcast will start before 14:00.

Lecture Report

On April 11, 2024, Zilina, Slovakia hosted a second lecture titled ""Green" polymer additives and possibilities of efficient use of epoxy waste" as part of the Visegrad project. This event united experts, academics, students, and researchers to discuss the use of nanocomposites, electroinsulating fluids, and innovative diagnostic methods. This time focused on the environmental friendly materials and crucial diagnostic methods.


The event featured three distinguished lecturers:


Dr. Richárd Cselkó, Hungary: Dr. Cselkó shared insights on "Role and methods of partial discharge measurement in the evaluation of electrical insulation systems." He discussed the role of partial discharges measurement as a crucial diagnostic method for evaluation of modern dielectric materials.
