VŠB – Technical University of Ostrava Nanotechnology Centre

ABOUT NANOTECHNOLOGY CENTRE

Nanotechnology Centre (CNT) is a University institute whose main activities are focused on the areas of research and development, education, and analytical service. The equipment of the CNT enables focus on tasks related to theoretical and computational chemistry, as well as preparation and properties testing of newly developed nanomaterials and composites. The CNT is comprised by five departments:

• Department of Technology and Structure of Nanomaterials
• Department of Inorganic Analysis
• Department of Organic Analysis and Catalytical Processes
• Department of Bionanotechnology
• Department of Materials Testing

EDUCATION

CNT provides education in the “Nanotechnology” study programme at the bachelor, master and doctoral levels. The study programme is focused on adopting theoretical knowledge from mathematics, physics and chemistry with the aim to enable students to prepare nanomaterials and evaluate their properties. For this purpose state-of-the-art instruments and equipment for preparation and characterization of nanomaterials are available in the laboratories of the CNT . Theory is followed by practical exercises in laboratories. Mandatory components of student education include participation in research projects, as well as tasks which originate from the commercial sphere.
