A New Elastomer Resistant to Radiation, Oil and Extreme Temperatures Is Being Developed at the FT. It Aims to Boost Nuclear Plant Safety
The Faculty of Technology at Tomas Bata University in Zlín is launching a new research project focused on developing a special rubber material designed for use in the extreme conditions of the nuclear energy sector. The project, entitled “Rubber Seals for Radiation and Chemically Harsh Environments”, has received funding through the THÉTA 2 programme of the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic. Within the sub-programme targeting energy technologies, the project ranked as the third highest-rated proposal overall – and the top-rated among those where a university acts as a principal investigator.
