The Center works in the development of novel green synthetic methods for production of nanoparticles. The life cycle and its impact on living things and the environment of the nanoparticles are investigated. Super-hydrophobic and photocatalytic nanomaterials for self-cleaning and depolluting coatings are investigated.Through natural metaphors, structures and coatings are designed with structural color properties. The Center investigates synthetic routes for the production of complex colloidal nanoparticles with control over size, shape and composition. Design and implementation of nanoparticles for potential applications in medical diagnostic and treatment, environmental monitoring/remediation, and efficient and clean energy production.
