Wet chemically synthesized nanoparticles with designed properties

Wet chemically synthesized nanoparticles with designed properties

Size, shape and composition determine the ultimate properties of nanoparticles. Chemical synthesis control enables tailoring these.­­ We synthesize and surface functionalize nanoparticles by means of bottom-up wet chemistry and subsequently use these as building blocks to assemble functional supraparticles.­ A main interest is on magnetic, luminescent, adsorber and catalyst nano building blocks.
