Research area

Exposed parts in the automotive and engineering industries (injectors, camshafts, valves, bearings, etc.);
Medical and biological applications (prosthesis of materials with originally insufficient abrasion-resistance);
Surface nitration of stainless steels by ion implantation with the aim to improve their abrasion-resistance while attaining high corrosion-resistance;
“Stents” (endoluminal blood vessel prostheses), nonporous stents for additionally controlled dosage of drugs, biocompatible and blood-compatible materials, etc., for modern medicine;

Other options of ion implantation in the areas other than microelectronics, such as the precise mechanics, special construction of expensive watches;
Protection against high-temperature oxidation (TiAl alloys, turbine constructions);
Plastics injection into moulds (safety improvement in the removal of parts produced by injecting into the mould, as well as abrasion-protection for highly stressed parts for moulding tools);
Ion implantation of surface of certain polymers for improving the surface properties, such as electrical conductivity, biocompatibility, etc.
