| Summary |
|---|
| The course will get students acquainted with fundamental knowledge concerning nanomaterials based on non-metals, metals and their oxides. The course is also focused on various routes leading to functionalization of nanometrials and the influence of the performed functionalization on properties of the newly formed nanomaterials including their potential toxicity. Finally, examples of possible applications of these nanomaterials are discussed. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
| The lecture is focused on introduction into the nanomaterials and their functionalization applicable in a wide range of metal/non-metal nanomaterials and their oxides. The approach to functionalization is given into a context with specific/targeted applications or for a research purpose. The functionalization approaches will be discussed with respect to its possible impact on physico-chemical-toxicological properties of these newly prepared materials. |
| Course Contents |
|---|
1. Definition of nanomaterials and possibility of their functionalization - terminology.
2. Modes of functionalizations, possible toxicity impact of the performed functionalization (incl. synergic effect).
3. Metal nanomaterials and their tailored functionalizations (specific materials and their possible tailored functionalizations).
4. Non-metal nanomaterials and their functionalizations (selected non-metal nanomaterials and their functionalization, modes of functionalizations, possible impact of the performed functionalization on toxicity of the as-prepared nanomaterial).
5. Non-metal oxides and their functionalizations (examples of selected nanomaterials and their possible functionalizations, modes in which the functionalizations are realized, impact of the functionalization on toxicity of the as-prepared nanomaterial).
6. Practical examples of application of selected range of functionalized nanomaterials.
