Here you will find a chronologically sorted list of the most important published scientific achievements.
Heat and mass transfer from a flowing fluid to a wall is one of the fundamental problems of transport phenomena, whose precise mathematical description is considerably challenging due to the complexity of physical processes in the boundary layer. An exact theoretical understanding of these phenomena represents a powerful tool for addressing specifi…
The removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) and sulphur dioxide (SO2) from industrial flue gases is a key challenge in environmental protection and in the development of modern separation technologies. The effective capture of these gases is closely linked to the design of innovative materials and to a detailed understanding of their sorption properties fo…
How can chemistry imitate biological systems? Nature widely uses biopolymers as both construction and functional materials, producing precisely defined nanostructures. Synthetic chemists strive to achieve a similar degree of organization by using sequential synthesis, but with increasing molecular size, it is ever more difficult to keep control ove…
A team of authors from the Research Group of Advanced Materials and Organic Synthesis published a new method for the synthesis of previously undescribed phosphorus-heterocyclic compounds in The Journal of Organic Chemistry. The developed procedure enables the efficient preparation of so-called quinolizidine 1,4-azaphosphinines – structurally uniq…
Volatile organic compounds in the air are a health problem for the human population. Air oxidation in the presence of catalysts is successfully used to remove them. Precious metal-based catalysts are successfully replaced by transition metal oxide-based catalysts. Reducing the cost of catalysts can be achieved through new preparation processes that…
The team from the Research Group of Catalysis and Reaction Engineering focused on developing new catalysts for the abatement of volatile organic compounds, which belong to the major air pollutants. The study, recently published in Catalysis Today, presents a unique use of polybenzimidazole nanofibers produced by electrospinning as a support for pla…
