Prof. Ing. Miloslav Milichovský, PhD, DSc.

Research interests and activity:

The topic of his research work is concentrated on fundamental and applied problems of cellulose chemistry, papermaking chemistry and science, i.e. wet-end chemistry, coating chemistry, white water recirculation, paper converting etc. Milichovský has written or contributed to more as 130 scientifically and technical papers (cited more as 140). He has presented a number of papers at numerous conferences, local section meetings, seminars and other industry meetings. A lot of his research works from pulp and paper technology was realized (author or co-author about 100 technical and technological works). He also holds a lot of patents (34), especially for pulp and paper technology. A topic of his research and scientific works was mainly published in these journals:

• Papír a celulóza (in Czech, English or German)

• Zellstoff und Papier (in German)

• Scientific Papers University of Pardubice (in Czech or English)

• Chimia Drevesiny (in Russian)

• Kolloidnyj Zhurnal (in Russian)

• Tappi Journal (in English)

• Cellulose Chemistry and Technology (in English or German)

• Papier + Kunststoff Verarbeiter (in German)

• Przegląd Papierniczy (in Polish or English) 

• Polymer International (in English)

• Adsorption Science & Technology (in English)

• Journal of Applied Polymer Science (in English)

However, his main scientific orientation has been focused on problems of water behaviour and interactions with hydrophilic interfaces in macro- and micro-reticular systems as represented by biomaterials predominantly on cellulosic base.
He worked up the SCHL theory and conception of hydration bonds as basic tool of supra- and hyper-molecular chemistry.
