Description
TEKNIKER laboratory dedicated to the synthesis, formulation and characterisation of nanoparticles and nanoscale dispersions. It enables nanoparticles to be produced using different methods (co-precipitation, sol-gel, high-shear mixing and ultrasonication), as well as the incorporation of nano- and microparticles or capsules into materials. Applications include coatings, composites, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and controlled-release systems.
The laboratory is equipped with comprehensive physicochemical characterisation facilities for monitoring particle size, surface properties, distribution and dispersion stability.
