Nanotechnology Research – Laboratories

Nanomaterials and nanocomposites (eg photocatalysts for environmental applications, lamellar pigments based on mica coated with metal oxide layers).

Specializes in inorganic-organic nanocomposite materials preparation and characterization; nanoelectronics; and nanobiotechnology.

The main subjects of the scientific activity of the Centre comprise the complex study of unique photocatalytic properties of nanocrystalline photoactive materials (mostly titanium dioxide) and research of their practical utilisation in the field of self-cleaning, anti-bacterial coatings, photocatalytic purification of water, air and contaminated soil, organic synthesis and solar energy conversion.
