Institute of Fundamental Technological Research

On 13-14 September 2017, our Institute has been visited by Hélène Chraye, Head of the Unit Advanced Materials and Nanotechnologies of the European Commission, Directorate-General for Research and Innovation. The aim of this visit was participation in the National Information Day NMBP.

We are pleased to announce a monograph "DISCRETE ELEMENT MODELING OF POWDER METALLURGY PROCESSES", by Szymon Nosewicz (IPPT Reports 5/2016). The doctoral dissertation presents a numerical and experimental analysis of manufacturing of new materials by powder metallurgy techniques.

On 31st of July 2017, the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland granted a patent for a team from IPPT PAN, IMDiK PAN and WUM: Jarosław Andrychowski, Ph.D., Dr. Habil. , Prof. Małgorzata Frontczak-Baniewicz, Prof. Zbigniew Czernicki, Dorota Gołąbek-Sulejczak, Ph.D., Dr. Habil., Tomasz Kowalczyk, Ph.D., and Prof. Tomasz A.

In July 2017, Fundation for Polish Science (FNP) has approved and subsidized three projects at IPPT PAN (the FIRST TEAM and HOMING programmes). Grants winners are young talented researchers at IPPT PAN: Piotr Korczyk Ph.D., Dr Habil., Michał Komorowski Ph.D. and Izabela K. Piechocka Ph.D.

Karol Golasiński has been awarded a scholarship by the DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst - German Academic Exchange Service) for presentation entitled ,,Unique mechanical performance of an innovative Ti-based superalloy Gum Metal under compression".

In July 2017, European Comission, in the frame of the call MARIE SKŁODOWSKA-CURIE RESEARCH AND INNOVATION STAFF EXCHANGE (MSCA RISE) has granted the project QUANTIFY "Unraveling the role of anisotropy in material failure". The project is coordinated by the University Carlos III of Madrid (UC3M) and one of the project beneficiaries is IPPT PAN.
