The Summer School at the Faculty of Chemistry consists of two separate courses from which the student has to choose one. You can take one course bellow:

Food chemistry and technology (September 13-15, 2022)
450 EUR

• Food and agriculture waste processing and valorization to high added value products (preparation of protein bar).
• Food analysis by modern instrumental techniques, sensory analysis.
• Special food technologies – beer making, meat products – monitoring and control of pilot technology proces.

Workshop on Progressive Materials Chemistry (September 12-15, 2022)
480 EUR

• Modern methods of inorganic materials characterization:
  • Chemical analysis of inorganic materials (XRF, XPS, FT-IR, Raman).
  • Thermal analysis of inorganic materials (TGA-DTA-EGA-TMA).
  • Structural analysis of inorganic materials (optical microscopy, SEM-EDS/WDS/EBSD, Raman microscopy, XPS imaging).
• Metal materials analysis
  • Preparation of a metal sample for observation of microstructure (Metallography).
  • Observation of microstructure and measurement of microhardness (LM, HV).
  • Structural and elemental analysis of metallic materials (SEM, EDS).
• Biomaterials:
  • Biotechnological production of biopolymers (PHA) by microorganisms under the biorefinery concept (waste utilization, lowering CO2 footprint)
  • Biopolymers as delivery systems for agriculture, pharmacy, cosmetics and biomedicine
  • Biological effect of biomaterials (biocompatibility, antimicrobial effect, testing on human cell lines).
• Bioplastics
