2011 | SCIENTIFIC REPORT | PAGE 1 2011 | SCIENTIFIC REPORT | PAGE 2 FOREWORD Reviewing the important dates that have marked the institution last year, note with satisfaction that in 2011 we are able to make decisive steps to transform ICPE-CA into a modern R&D institute and prepared to meet requirements which are now in the entire R&D&I system in Romania. We are looking with satisfaction the development of our human resources, especially by employing ten young graduates in 2011, proving the interest and talent in research and which, as well as all our human resources, we offer through our research topics, creative atmosphere in laboratories and good and very good working condition, the possibility of developing a research and development career. Our development and performance evaluation system, according to MECTS Order 3860/10.03.2011, performed at the end of each year an objective individual analysis and guarantee the career development of each employee. Although applied research is often difficult, especially in the direction of this vector, the Institute was able to find in 2011 the correct direction and meaning, in accordance with Romania’s priorities in full agreement with our capabilities. After a year of internal reorganization in 2010, we find that we were able to transfer at SC Atelierele CFR Grivita SA equipment for analysis of train wheel wear and stand for computerized testing and diagnosis of dampers for railway vehicles, at Agricultural Society PRODLACTOSERV license for the household biogas unit, and at SC ROSEAL SA Odorheiu Secuiesc 5 kW PEM fuel cell for generating electricity and heat. Last year we received confirmation of acceptance of a technology transfer that will allow delivery of electromagnets and power sources for FAIR particle accelerators of amount about 4MEuro. This we hope to be just the beginning of our new specialization. Award in 2011 by AGIR President of two prizes in the “Electrical Engineering” field, for industrial assimilation of two products, respectively technologies, has rewarded our efforts to transfer knowledge in the industry. In 2011 we succeeded by our project “PROMIT”, financed under SOP-IEC, to complete the equipment investment with advanced characterization and technological equipment. In the first category is remarkable the microscopy equipment by purchasing a special FESEM-FIB microscope with resolution of 1.9 nm only 1kV and zoom of 106 times; a scanning electron microscope to study surfaces with tunneling type SPM Ntegra Aura NT – MDT, with work opportunities in the environment, liquid or vacuum in high-resolution surface profilometry, to evaluate the structure of magnetic fields by mapping (with the possibility to apply an external magnetic field), elastic properties, the topological study of electric properties of the surface; and a HRTEM microscope with maximum acceleration voltage of 200kV, resolution of 0.2 nm, with EFTEM imaging modes, TEM diffraction, TEM analysis, together with a complete laboratory to prepare the samples. Among the technological facilities notice SPS equipment, a casting system on rotating drum, 2000 atm isostatic press up to 2000oC, the C nanotubes growth system. These two categories of equipment are supplied through a centralized system of nine protective / technology gas, of which not lacking H2, He or N2. We came in 2012 with optimism, the year we want to capitalize some of the past scientific results and to prepare those who followed. Dear colleagues, wherever you are in the structure of the Institute, many thanks must be expressed to you for what you created in 2011. Together we must express our gratitude to all partners who helped us in our research achievements reported here. In 2011 we were pleased to welcome in our Institute prestigious guests from home and abroad. Thanks to those who prepared this report; I also thank the members of the Administrative Council Board, with whom I drafted and approved our strategy, have made it feasible and supervised it; I also thank the ICPE-CA Scientific Council. Not finally, I thank the members of the Directory Board, with whom we assured the daily coordination of the ICPE-CA efforts.
