Thermal Camera
- Published in Facilities
Nikon® Thermal Vision Laird 3A incorporates a unique 410,000-pixel infrared CCD that ensures the highest resolution and state-of-the-art uniformity. The camera is used mainly inline with the mechanical testing frame / S3 combination and copes handily from -20°C to 300°C in monitoring heat distribution, charting changes in temperature over time, as well as creating temperature contour lines.

Dr. Georgia Tsoukleri is a member of the Composites & Nanostructured Materials Laboratory, CNM, since 2004. She received her university degree from Materials Science Dept. of University of Patras in 2005; in 2013 she received the 1st PhD degree in Greece related to graphene from Physics Depart. of University of Patras and for the period 2014-2015 she was a Postdoctoral fellow at FORTH/ICE-HT. Until 2021 she published 23 papers in high impact international scientific journals, and she collaborated with Nobelists Sir A.Κ. Geim and Sir K.S. Novoselov. The publication «Subjecting a graphene monolayer to tension and compression», G. Tsoukleri, J. Parthenios, K. Papagelis, R. Jalil, A. C. Ferrari, A. K. Geim, K. S. Novoselov and C. Galiotis (Small 2009, 5, No. 21, 2397–2402), is linked to Sir K.S. Novoselov’s Nobel Prize lecture in 2010. Her research activities lie around the production of thermosetting and thermoplastic nanocomposites reinforced by graphitic structures (Graphene, graphene micro-ribbons, GO and carbon fibres) and the study of their static and dynamic mechanical properties, using simultaneously non-destructive techniques such as Raman Spectroscopy. In 2013, she was trained in Clean Room (FIRST) at ETH Zurich to use new techniques and operate several instruments to fabricate high quality graphene nanostructures. Since 2015 she is working as Intellectual Property Engineer for Greek companies (MEGA PLAST Industrial- Exporting S.A. and BIC-VIOLEX S.A). She holds 2 patents, contributes to the research and the development of new products and new patents and supports patent-infringement lawsuits before Courts.
