Monika Flejszar, PhD, has received funding for her research under the National Science Centre's Miniatura 8 Programme
Monika Flejszar, PhD, from the Department of Physical Chemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry, has been awarded research funding under the National Science Centre's Miniatura 8 Programme. The proposal entitled. ‘Development of environmentally friendly dispersion systems for the synthesis of hydrophobic polymer nanocoatings’ was ranked first in the ranking list, and the amount of funding awarded is PLN 49,998.00.
Monika Flejszar, PhD, from the Chmielarz Research Group, gained her previous scientific experience by completing her doctoral thesis under the supervision of Profesor Paweł Chmielarz, Head of the Department of Physical Chemistry, and by participating in scientific internships in foreign scientific units.
Research topics
The main focus of the project's scientific activities is preliminary research aimed at verifying and assessing the applicability of a heterogeneous reaction environment (miniemulsion) as an innovative and environmentally friendly alternative for the synthesis of polymer brushes grafted from flat surfaces. This topic is in line with current trends in the design of chemical processes based on the pillars and objectives of sustainable development, which is one of the horizontal principles of the European Union.
Miniatura 8 Programme
Miniatura 8 is a programme of the National Science Centre to which proposals may be submitted for the implementation of a single scientific activity that has not been and is not financed from NCN or other sources. A scientific activity can be carried out in the form of: preliminary/pilot research, a search, a scientific internship, a research trip or a consultancy trip. The main objective of the competition is to financially support a scientific activity serving the preparation of a future research project planned for submission to NCN, other national or international competitions. The competition offers funding of between PLN 5,000 and PLN 50,000 for the implementation of a scientific activity lasting up to 12 months.
