CECHIF INFRASTRUCTURE

The Center of Physical Chemistry assures the access of all interested members to modern investigation methods in: nanoscience, nanotechnology, physical chemistry, thermodynamics, chemical structure, colloidal and surface chemistry and chemistry of supramolecular polyfunctional systems, micro- and nano-structured thin films and advanced biocomposite and nano materials. Strategic equipments: atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), self-assembly technique (Langmuir-Blodgett Technique: LBT) of thin films. Facilitated equipments: differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), UV-Vis spectrophotometer, as well as the pilot station, the synthesis reactor for nano materials with the necessary equipments: lyophilizator and sonicator for preparing aqueous dispersions of nano materials and for the investigation of chemical reactions. These equipments lead to the increase of the quality and value of fundamental and applicative research, in maintaining scientific excellence, and in the access of our scientific publications to internationally prestigious ISI journals. These equipments are also used by ♦Doctoral School in Chemistry – specialty in Physical Chemistry and in ♦learning process through research at the following disciplines: ♦Thermodynamics, ♦Colloid Chemistry and Interphases, ♦Molecular and Cellular Medicine through AFM and STM, ♦Biophysics, ♦Nanobiomaterials, ♦Multifunctional supramolecular structures by self-assembly: biological membrane models, drug development and bio-engineering of human tissues. The CECHIF-UBB also offers specialized services to other research institutes or SMEs involved in partnerships for scientific collaboration or to the teaching staff, students and doctoral students from our institution and other prestigious institutions in our country and abroad.
