NANOPARTICLES,
NANOTUBES, GRAPHENES AND THEIR POLYMER COMPOSITES:
POTENTIAL
APPLICATIONS IN THE AREAS OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS,
CATALYSIS, WATER
PURIFICATION AND DRUG DELIVERY 

The talk will present a short overview
of research performed at the
Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy (Lab
of Composite materials and
NANOTECH FTM) related to nanoparticles,
nanotubes and graphenes, their
functionalization, characterization and
implementation in various
fields. The exceptional properties of
nanomaterials enable the plethora
of applications in neat and
functionalized state as well as embedded in
various polymer
matrices.

The ability of studied nanomaterials to disperse in polymer
matrices,
serve as catalyst carriers and sorbents or to improve
the
pharmacological and therapeutic profile of a drug molecule is
hampered
due to its strong intermolecular van der Waals interactions.
The talk
will detail selective approaches to improve dispersion
and
deagglomeration as well as surface decoration with functional groups
and
realize the great capability of nanomaterials, which enables
chemical
covalent or non-covalent bonding with the material of
interest.

Talk will focus on several topics of implementation of which
we can
stress the application of nanoparticles and graphenes in
polymer
composites and flexible electronics, the use of carbon nanotubes
as
sorbents for removal of heavy metal ions from water, catalysts
carriers
and nanovehicles for drug delivery. Prospects for future
experiments
using these material configurations to fabricate co-axial
electrospun
nanocomposite membranes, filters and scaffolds/implants with
mechanical
integrity and possibility of real-life implementation will be
presented.
