Micro- and nanocapsules, as wel as micro- and nanoparticle assemblies formed using specific supramolecular interactions between building blocks such as polymers and nanoparticles
Projects involve synthesis of metal nanoparticles and polymers functionalized with appropriate molecular recognition units. Techniques/tools such as emulsion templation, light scattering, microscopic analysis of formation and disruption are employed.
