The consortium intends to establish a research programme which is aimed at the production of advanced structures that include
colloidal assemblies, nanoparticles, oxides and metals in order to gain a fundamental understanding of their properties with
the aim of using them for manipulation of light on the nanoscale. The planned work is described in detail in the form of three
work packages (WP). The first addresses key roadblocks in the exploitation of nanophotonic materials and is entitled 'From
?imperfect? colloidal crystals to functional engineered nanophotonic architectures'. The second is entitled 'Metallodielectric
colloidal crystal platform for plasmonic circuits and optical transformations ' and addressing key issues associated with novel
device operation. The third is devoted to the idea of organising two Summer Schools, one in Europe and one in Japan, thus
disseminating the most up-to-date knowledge available. The School(s) intend to cover the area of the interaction between
light and a range of optically-active materials under differing conditions, while they will also focus on possible applications of
these materials.

The aim of this project is to exploit the potential colonization mineral components microorganisms in soil conditions reliably contribute to the efficient and gradually releasing effect of the substances used by plants (supply of sulfates, phosphates and some nitrogen compounds). For industrial use, the fulfillment of the objectives of the project is to develop a functional sample composite component based on the freeze-dried biofilm lithotrophic microorganisms on mineral base.

The aim of the solution is to fill the two topics of objective information and functional technical procedures. First of all, map out and precisely express
the change of removal of wood forest on the dynamics of percolation through the reactive nitrogen/phosphorus. Then develop the methodological
recommendations of the impact assessment on ground water and to develop best practice forest recovery in terms of minimizing the adverse effects
of nitrogen compounds on migration the quality of groundwater.

The main objective of the project IRS2015 / 012 is providing practical trainings for students of the ÚEnviChI FCHT the University of Pardubice. This activity, which students actively accepted, will significantly contribute to the provision of high quality and competitive education, responding to new conditions and providing for students to gain practical knowledge of the latest methods and techniques used to work their fields.

In this project we propose preparation of a multifunctional capillary device based on organic polymer monoliths. We propose spatially constrained surface modification of prepared monolithic columns to integrate sample focusing, separation, and on-column electrochemical detection. The surface grafting will be used to prepare segments with different polarity and chemistry. Monolithic surface will be also modified with polymers responding to external stimuli (e.g. temperature) to prepare so called smart stationary phases. An electrochemical detector will be directly incorporated into the porous structure of monolithic column, either by embedding the microelectrodes at the end of capillary column, or by preparation of desired electrodes via formation of porous metal surfaces with the use of electroless deposition techniques. We propose application of developed device in direct analysis of neurotransmitters as well as comprehensive online coupling with microdialysis sampling in pharmacology, drug delivery, drug kinetics, and tissue metabolism studies.

The proposed project is divided into two parts. The first part aims to create a modern green propellant (GP) for the automotive industry contains
attractive new energetic materials (EM), which will be developed and pilot-plant prepared during the project on the devices Explosia a.s. Modern
energetic materials will be energetically richer and technology of preparation will be simple. The research will also develop advanced production
technology of green propellant, through the use of new types of binders cellulose.
In the second part of the project we want to consider developing of advanced technology for preparing castable solid rocket propellant for large
caliber ammunition and air rescue systems. Component of casting technology research of castable solid rocket propellant will be research of new,
hygienically acceptable burning rate modifier to replace the commonly used lead compounds and research of modern monomers for phlegmatization
of nitroglycerine and gelation of nitrocellulose, from which the elements of castable solid rocket propellant will be prepared.

The project focuses on the development and production of environmentally acceptable precursors used for primary explosives in initiating systems. At the same time new thermostable phlegmatizates with new types of additives (e.g. polymers or metallic soaps) for the secondary initiator composition will be developed. These phlegmatizates find application as filling of secondary compositions of initiators (e.g. detonators) or boosters.

The present project aims to develop a centrifugal spinning technology to produce amorphous SiO2 nanofibers . These nanofibers will fulfill all
criteria for their industrial use in moisture-removal processes planned after the project ends. Efforts to optimize the technology will be undertaken
by the industrial parner (Pardam Ltd.), the stuff at University of Pardubice will care about R&D and characterization of nanofibers to have large
internal surface area, suitable porosity and OH-coverage.
