The Regional Laboratory of Vacuum Technology is concerned with the application of modern high vacuum technology to various areas of science and technology. It is an independent unit of the University and specializes in four distinct areas:
• the technology of thin films,
• surface layer studies,
• vacuum measurements,
• thermoanalysis.

The Regional Laboratory is a leader in R & D, and scientific and service works conducted with the purpose of implementing the technology of superhard thin layers on the working surfaces of a variety of tools and machine parts using vacuum plasma-chemical methods.

The Laboratory contains highly efficient productive technological equipment which facilitates the execution of three different vacuum methods for superhard thin layers and decorative coatings of types TiN, TiAlN, TiCN, CN, M-C:H, and DLC. The essential direction of the research and scientific work is to establish a correlation between the composition and structure of these layers and their physical properties, mainly tribiological. Moreover, the Laboratory’s technological equipment enables the unit to conduct work concerned with the metallization of nonmetallic materials for decorative and optical purposes or as shielding against electromagnetic radiation. The Laboratory is also involved in the implementation of thermal methods of study of residual stress relaxation in layers.
