1.
Characterization of particle distribution and orientation in solid media : [invited talk].

The project leader gave an invited lecture at this speciallized conference on advanced materials, and was also the chairman of a scientific session. Over 800 participants attended this conference and the project leader was the only Slovenian. He presented an original method for determination of nanoparticles in polymer films. The method is based on polymer film treatment with oxygen plasma and works only in the limited range of plasma parameters.

2.
Improvement of polythylene terephthalate (PET) material properties by plasma treatment.

Our young researcher received the best poster award at this international conference. She presented original results on surface modification of PET polymer using moderately reactive oxygen plasma. AFM and XPS techniques were applied for surface analyses. The extremely high surface energy of this polymer was attributed to plasma treatment with the right combination of oxygen atoms and positively charged ions.
