Recent research work in the field to which the grant proposal belongs:
23 out of total 25 recent papers by the applicant (April 2014 till March 2019) are dedicated to nanocomposites, nano-structured materials and composites, which were also in the focus of earlier research interest (including some well-cited works). Six of the nanocomposite works were dedicated to the study of large-molecule-like rigid nano-building blocks (based on tin-oxo-cages) and to their physical interactions, as well as to their chemical reactions with polymer matrixes. One work was concerned with the reinforcement of organic polymers with layered silicate nanofillers (non-oriented Montmorillonite), while 12 works were focused on the synthesis of polysiloxanes and/or on their conversion into nano-structured SiOC glasses.

Recently completed national research projects:

• Czech Science Foundation (GAČR): No. GAP107/12/2445, 2012-2014,
  “SiOC ceramic foam from pyrolyzed polymer precursor as a core of thermally stable composite
  sandwich structures”
  joint investigator, leader of the team at IMC
• Czech Science Foundation (GAČR): No. GA13-26542S, 2013-2017,
  “Advanced polymers for photonics”
  team member
• Czech Science Foundation (GAČR): No. GA13-15255S, 2013-2016,
  “Self reinforced polymer-polymer composites upgraded by nanofillers of various geometry”
  team member

Completed international projects:

•  N-CHITOPACK, Project reference: 315233, (European Commission, 7. FP –SME), in 2012-2014, project name: Sustainable technologies for the production of biodegradable materials based on natural chitin-nanofibrils derived by waste of fish industry, to produce food grade packaging, team member in a joint-applicant institution (IMC).
• RP DEMATEN, Project reference 204953, (European Commission, FP7-REGPOT-2007-3), in 2008‑2011, project name: Reinforcement of research potential of the Department of Materials Engineering in the field of processing and characterization of nanostructured materials, team member in a joint-applicant institution (IMC).
• HPRN-CT-2002-00306 (European Commission, FP5-Human Potential, research training network project), in 2002-2006, project name: New hybrid nanocomposites from functional nanobuilding blocks, team member in a joint-applicant institution (IMC).
