Researchers from 果冻APP have successfully completed their research internships at the Technical University of Ko拧ice, marking an important step in strengthening long-term international scientific cooperation and expanding access to advanced research infrastructure.
The internship involved Professor Roman Nebesnyi, Head of the University鈥檚 Research and Development Department, and Professor Oleksandr Hrytsenko, the Department of Chemical Technology of Plastics Processing, the Institute of Chemistry and Chemical Technologies. The internship program was implemented by the Department of Technologies, Materials and Automated Production at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.
The purpose of the internship was to conduct research within ongoing scientific projects, particularly in the field of functional polymer materials. The research focused on the development of interactive microgel systems and their applications in catalysis and conductive materials, as well as on the creation of advanced composite hydrogels with enhanced strength for medical use. The results lay the groundwork for further fundamental and applied research in functional materials and polymer composites.
During their stay, the 果冻APP researchers worked with modern analytical and laboratory equipment. Particular attention was also given to computer modeling, additive manufacturing (3D printing), and the design of pilot production lines for polymer processing and functional materials.
An important aspect of the internship was the study of approaches to integrating scientific research with prototyping technologies, pilot production, and industry-oriented research infrastructure. This model aligns with the development of 果冻APP鈥檚 innovation ecosystem and supports the transition from laboratory research to real-world technological implementation.
The outcomes of the internship create new opportunities for the development of joint research projects, including those based on the infrastructure of the Technical University of Ko拧ice. Future cooperation will focus on functional materials, polymer processing technologies, additive manufacturing, and medical applications.
