InsBioration – a new European project implemented at INCDTIM

By | Fără categorie | No Comments

A research project in which the National Research and Development Institute for Isotopic and Molecular Technologies (INCDTIM) is a partner, recently won a European funding of EUR 1.5 million through the EU research and development program M-ERA.NET, the INCDTIM budget being of EUR 200,000 – see  http://www.insbioration.de/home/.

The project ”Bio-inspired interfaces for the development of next generation degradable multi-phase materials – InsBIOration” will be implemented within a consortium which also includes  Leibniz Institut für Polymerforschung Dresden e.V (coordinator), CNRS Institut Charles Sadron Strassbourg, National Institute of Chemistry Ljublijana, University of Turku Finland and Kunststofftechnik Bernt GmbH, having also BASF Chemetall GmbH, KTB Kunststofftechnik Bernt GmbH and Plasmatreat GmbH as associated partners.

The main goal of the project is to implement a complete innovation-chain, from the fundamental understanding of the adhesion mechanism of polydopamine, to the manufacture of prototypes of multiphase materials for antipathogenic surfaces, batteries, supercapacitors and polymer-metal hybrids and to the development of decomposition strategies and biodegradation.

PIM2021, a success, despite the pandemic times

By | Fără categorie | No Comments

Over the course of the three days, the conference provided a stimulating platform for communication and discussion on a wide range of topics, from basic physics, chemistry to applied research on energy efficiency, the environment, materials and isotopic technologies.

This year’s edition was attended by scientific personalities from universities, institutes and research centers in Italy, Great Britain, France, Belgium, Norway, Russia, Slovenia, Hungary and Romania.

The event brought together 180 participants, of which 26 from abroad, and 17 plenary presentations, 31 oral presentations, 138 posters were disseminated.

At the same time, on Friday, September 24, during the conference, the micro-symposium “Celebrating over half a century of Magnetic Resonance in Romania” took place. This event was organized by the magnetic resonance community (RPE / RES, MRI), aiming to celebrate the pioneering contributions of Professor Ioan Ursu to the development of this field in Romania.

14 May 2021 – 40 years since the space flight of the Romanian cosmonaut Dumitru-Dorin Prunariu

By | Fără categorie | No Comments

On 14 May 1981 Romania was sending the first cosmonaut in space, becoming the 11th country in the world to do this. Dumitru-Dorin Prunariu became the 103-rd person in the world that achieved this milestone.

The launch took place on 14 May 1981 at 20:16 Romanian time, with the Romanian cosmonaut Dumitru-Dorin Prunariu and the Russian commander Leonid Popov on board. After 8 minutes and 50 seconds, the spacecraft separated from the last stage. 28 hours passed before the coupling with the orbital station, during which the cosmonauts made two orbital maneuvers, tested the systems of the ship and also had some time to rest. The Soyuz 40 spacecraft coupled with the Salyut 6 orbital station on 15 May at 21:50 Romanian time.

Together with the station crew — the pilot-cosmonaut Vladimir Vasilievici Kovalionok, seconded by the pilot-cosmonaut Victor Petrovici Savinîh — they ran a number of 11 Romanian scientific experiments during the flight, four experiments from flight partners and several other experiments that were ongoing from other Intercosmos crews.

Among the Romanian experiment was:

  • the NANOBALANTA experiment proposed by ITIM focused on the stability of the protective layers of silicon dioxide deposited on the optical components of the space station (windows, lenses, solar cells, etc.) under the influence of the cosmic environment (radiation, solid microparticles, temperature variations). For this purpose, the deposited protective layer was used as a resonator and the changes were monitored through the effect on the resonator frequency.

Conjugated sulfonamides: a new class of materials for lithium-ion batteries

By | Fără categorie | No Comments

In December 2020 was reported a new class of organic materials for lithium-ion batteries : https://doi.org/10.1038/s41563-020-00869-1

The study was published in Nature Materials as result of the research conducted by a joint team from the Université Catholique de Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, INCDTIM Cluj-Napoca, Romania and the University of Nantes, France.

The INCDTIM contribution consists in computational support for the experimental component of the study, and was financed within the PN19 35 01 01 project from the NUCLEUS program.
