Project
Technology of hybrid coatings formation on titanium implants for animals
The aim of the project is preparation of technology for formation hybrid coatings on titanium alloys for animals. Surfaces of Ti and Ti alloy will be anodized via PEO to obtain porous oxide layer. Degradable polymer with antibiotic will be deposited on previously anodized implants to prevent excessive adhesion of bacteria and septic inflammation. The project presents technology innovation, which includes adaptation of technology to receive a new product that is not on the market yet. It is estimated that TRL level will increase from IV to VIII.

Project
Development of technology for plasma electrolytic formation of anodic oxide coatings on light metal alloys towards comprehensive surface protection systems
The project plans is to provide a technology for producing oxide layers on aluminum and magnesium alloys, which will be competitive or complementary to the conventional anodizing. Actions will be taken to (i) determine the effect of treatment conditions on the characteristics of the oxide coatings; (ii) demonstrate the effect of additional pre-treatment; (iii) explore the possibility of giving additional functionality to the layers; (iv) develop the method prototype and preparation of the commercialization plan.
