Synthesis of mesoporous materials with controlled morphology
Mesoporous materials, i.e. materials with a pore dimension in the range of 2 – 50 nm, have a range of promising application prospects, ranging from biomedical applications to catalysis. However, in most cases… [read more]
Hybrid hydrogels for tissue engineering
Synthetic scaffolds mimicking the optimum biological environment are instrumental in the development of stem cell-based therapies. Here, biodegradability, toxicity, pore size, surface morphology, and scaffold elasticity are ... [read more]
Nucleation and growth processes
Nucleation and growth processes play an immense role in many practical applications, but are difficult to study. This is especially true for the early stages of particle formation, which could proceed through the formation of ... [read more]
Energy-relevant materials
One of the main focus areas of the faculty of natural sciences is energy storage. We focus our current research in this area towards manganese oxide materials for batteries and supercapacitors, and more specifically ... [read more]
Functional, mesoporous silica nanoparticles for imaging and drug delivery
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles are highly promising drug carriers due to their inherent biodegradability, low toxicity, high surface area and pore volumes. Furthermore, different imaging modalities can be… [read more]
