Research on the extraction of aluminium-based foam from chip particles with a focus on the use of different production processes. Analysing the influence of different foaming agents to achieve optimum porosity and foam structure. Analysing the influence of subsequent heat treatment on the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of foams and developing advanced mathematical models. Acquisition of a laboratory extruder with associated winder for the production of filaments for 3D printing. Research will be based on the development of new bio-polymer composites consisting of polymer waste and various biological fillers. Development of appropriate mathematical models describing the influence of production parameters during extrusion and 3D printing parameters on the final mechanical properties of biopolymers. Research into the possibility of obtaining bio composites by combining different resins and biological fibres, with a focus on hemp fibres. Analysis of the influence of the number and orientation of the layers of different fibres on the flexural and compressive strength of bio composites. Based on the results obtained, advanced mathematical models are developed and an optimisation of all input parameters is carried out. Investigation of the influence of magnetic spraying parameters on the thickness and properties of modern metal coatings on different metal substrates. The preliminary investigations will be based on simple single-component coatings of platinum and titanium in order to better optimise the operation of the magnetron. The main research will be carried out on HEA (High Entropy Alloys) targets deposited on stainless steel metal substrates. The samples are prepared based on the test plan and the mechanical and tribological properties of the coatings as well as their corrosion resistance are tested. The aim of the research is to develop advanced mathematical models.

The dissemination of the results includes several scientific publications in international Q1 and Q2 journals and participation in several international conferences.
