Romuald Szczęsny Prize is a prestigious award granted since 2002 by the Mayor of Gdynia to the most talented graduates of the Gdańsk University of Technology. The main goal of the award is to commemorate the prematurely deceased resident of Gdynia, a professor at the Gdańsk University of Technology and a former dean of the Faculty of Electrical and Control Engineering.

In 2022, the award went to our graduate, M.Sc. Edith Pilate. Edyta Pilate is a graduate of Material Engineering at the Faculty of Chemistry and a PhD student (discipline: Chemical Sciences). She received the award for her diploma thesis entitled "Hybrid systems for the release of antibacterial compounds composed of a polyurethane matrix printed in FDM technology and a hydrogel layer" realized under the supervision of dr hab. Eng. Justyna Kucińska-Lipki, prof. of the university at the Department of Polymer Technology.

Nobel Prize 2022

Nobel Prize 2022

On Wednesday 5 October 2022, the Swedish Academy of Sciences announced the winners of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The award for work on an innovative method of organic synthesis (the so-called click chemistry) was awarded to: Carolyn R. Bertozzi (Stanford University; USA), Morten Meldal (University of Copenhagen; Denmark) and K. Barry Sharpless (Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla; California ,USA). It should be mentioned that Barry Sharpless is a laureate of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2001.

The Ventus competition in the Redivivus area has been resolved

Ventus Hydrogenii Redivivus

Our big success!

Almost PLN 3 million was awarded in the first edition of the Ventus Hydrogenii Redivivus program in the REDIVIVUS area, which is an element of supporting the implementation of the tasks of the IDUB program in the field of research and implementation activities.

According to the rules of the competition, the maximum amount of co-financing for a project financed from the program is PLN 1,000,000 gross, and the project implementation period cannot be longer than 24 months.

Researchers from Gdańsk University of Technology, supervised by Prof. Mohammad Reza Saeb, conduct research on inexpensive, fireproof and electrically conductive materials made of used car tires and carbon fillers. 3D printed thermoplastic composites can be used, among others, in electronics, automotive and construction industries. The research team from Gdańsk University of Technology are among the world's leading researchers in the field of waste tires recycling.

Environmentally friendly and low-cost methods of recycling of the used car tires are one of the greatest environmental challenges. Ground tire rubber (GTR) is currently used, among others, as modifiers or fillers in preparation of polymer composites, in asphalt or concrete for the needs of various branches of the industry.
