11.2. <strong>Nanotech</strong>nology Research Networks<br />

Poland hosts two specialised nanotechnology research networks. These networks<br />

work in tandem with the Centres of Excellence and competence to link Polish<br />

researchers and overseas researchers.<br />

FAMA unites 21 Polish partners in research in advanced functional materials.<br />

The “Interfacial Effects of Nanostructured Materials” network led by The High<br />

Pressure Research Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences involves 18 partners from<br />

Poland, Russia and Ukraine. The network is funded by the European Commission<br />

and the Polish government (KBN). Focus of the research is metallic, ceramic and<br />

organic nanomaterials. The network is subdivided in four working groups:<br />

• nanostructured materials produced by severe plastic deformation;<br />

• synthesis and sintering of nanocrystalline powders for optoelectronic applications;<br />

• polymer nanoparticles composites;<br />

• magnetic nanomaterials (being formed).<br />
