Fabrication of a glass spray nozzle for Carbon-ZnO nanomaterials
Beneficiary
Cristina PACHIU
National Institute for Research and Development in Microtechnologies IMT-Bucarest, Laboratory for Reliability
Cristina Pachiu is specialized in RAMAN spectroscopy, microscopy, and mapping for the study of carbon based-materials. Her work focuses on advancing new maskless printing techniques for the controlled writing or transfer of novel materials, using inkjet printers for writing with resolutions of hundreds of microns, or dip pen nanolithography for transferring materials with resolutions down to hundreds of nanometers.
What brought INFRACHIP?
A spray nozzle system for new Carbon-Zinc Oxide nanomaterials
A Custom made Spray (pyrolysis) System, with multiple nozzles was used to design and develop new based spray-based material deposition techniques. With the host laboratory research team at HMU, the researcher produced and tested a new glass spray nozzle for Carbon-ZnO.

Project results
- Tested the functionality of the system with a wide range of carbon-based composite materials
- Performed spraying on various flexible substrates, such as paper and textile materials.
- The spray system was brought into operation in Bucarest and is now being integrated into other research projects at the institute
- Scientific results from the INFRACHIP internship will be presented at two conferences in 2025
