21.11.2012 - VISIT TO UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA, MINNEAPOLIS, USA

From 5th to 10th of November 2012, Dr. Ilija Stefanović has visited University of Minnesota, Department of Mechanical Engineering. During his stay he visited labs of Prof. U. Kortshagen (Si nanoparticle formation form low pressure, low temperature plasma), Prof. S. Girshik (nanoparticle formation form high pressure plasmas), Prof. D. Pui (aerosol production, filtration and separation) and Prof. P. McMurry (theoretical and experimental studies of aerosol systems and aerosol instrumentation).
He also reported about research on nanoparticle polymerization in low temperature RF plasmas in Research Department “Plasmas with Complex Interactions”. The future collaboration on nanoparticle sampling form atmospheric pressure microplasma has been discussed.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering of University of Minnesota is the world top institute for aerosol sampling and instrumentation. Beside of that, there is several plasma techniques developed for production, processing and handling of nanoparticles for industrial applications.
