- Acronyme: CARAT
- Registration number: CZ.02.1.01/0.0/0.0/16_026/0008382
- Brief description: The main motivation for the proposed project CARAT is a radical change in the modus operandi of interdisciplinary research in highly
actual research area focused on carbon nanomaterials. The project formulates completely new strategy of the material design, with the ultimate aim of rationalizing
communication channels (interfaces and nanolinks) to the environment in accordance with the nature of the chemical bond of the respective carbon allotrope. At the
same time the project targets the establishment of an expert team with a deep engagement in all relevant sectors of the academic and application interest. Based
on previous successful cooperation at national and international level, the team members are able to speak the same language, so maximize the profit from the
shared expertise and know-how. Internationally, an important outcome of the project is the establishment of the Joint Laboratory of Detonation Synthesis,
where groundbreaking experiments will be conducted in the worldwide unique facility by team of experts in all fields linked. In this context, it is expected
that the Czech Republic will establish itself as a world-power in the preparation of detonation nanodiamond with precisely defined parameters and hybrid materials
based on graphenoids and/or nanodiamond for biomedicine, energy storage and environmental applications.
