 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.
