Nanoparticles & Nanocomposites (NN)

Rational synthesis of nanoparticles, nanocomposites, biopolymers and functional films for nanomedicine, information technologies, energy and environmental applications.

Functional nanoparticles and nanocomposites for advanced materials research

The Nanoparticles & Nanocomposites (NN) group develops rational synthesis strategies for nanoparticles, nanocomposites, biopolymers and functional films.

The group studies structural–functional properties of these materials, including nano/bio interfaces, and explores their integration in devices and products for nanomedicine, information technologies, energy and environmental applications.

NN also participates actively in science outreach and gender equality initiatives, connecting advanced materials research with institutional engagement and societal impact.
