Profile
The division for Nanotechnology and Functional Materials is a part of the Department for Engineering sciences and situated at the Ångström Laboratory, Uppsala University, Sweden. The division was established in 2004 and is headed by prof. Maria Strømme.
The research at the division for Nanotechnology and Functional Materials is strongly connected to applications within pharmaceutics, biotechnology, and energy and environmental research. Hence, the materials in focus are polymers, various types of pharmaceutical excipients (solids and gels), drug molecules and other biologically active molecules, as well as solid materials like metals, metal-oxides and other types of ceramics. A strong coupling exists between basic research and advanced technological functions and applications. The following topics are subject of interest
- High surface area paper sheets for ion-exchange and separation of biomolecules
- Sensitive molecular nanodiagnostics
- Polymer capsules for targeted drug delivery
- Ceramics as drug carriers
- Bioactive coatings with optimized adhesion combined with drug delivery features
- Cladophora sp. cellulose: From environmental problem to high-tech products
- Fractal theory and characterization of pharmaceutically important properties
- "Smart" environmentally responsive cryogels
- Novel synthesis routes, characterization and potential applications of mesoporous materials
- Immunological studies of mesoporous nanoparticles
