SUMMARY:Biofunctionalised Nanotools for New Materials Design - Dr Ljiljana
  Fruk\, Dept of Chemical Engineering
DTSTART:20161117T113000Z

CONTACT:Catherine Pearson
DESCRIPTION:Recent developments in nanotechnology\, in particular in prepa
 ration of different classes of nanoparticles\, have enable design of novel
  devices with wider technological applications in  medicine\, biology and 
 renewable energy research.  Important aspect of the device design is the a
 vailability of the suitable materials. Nano-bio hybrids comprised of the c
 hemically modified nanostructures and biologically available molecules (i.
 e DNA and proteins) proved beneficial as controllable material elements fo
 r preparation of biosensors\, drug delivery systems and optoelectronic dev
 ices. \nWithin this talk a chemical synthesis of multifunctional linkers a
 s well as new strategies for biomolecule and nanoparticle modification wil
 l be presented with focus on their application for synthesis of new materi
 als such as nanocomposite biopolymers for tissue engineering or dopamine c
 oated titanium oxide hybrids for photocatalysis.  Finally\, an overview of
  the expected near future developments will be given with particular empha
 sis on challenges and possible solutions the field of nanobiotechnology is
  faced with.\n
