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. Our focus is on magnetic nanoparticles.
