1. Metal Oxide Nanoparticles for Contrast Enhancement in Magnetic Resonance Imaging : Synthesis, Functionalization and Characterization
Abstract : This thesis work focuses on the design and production of nanoparticle based contrast agents for signal enhancement in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Three different synthesis routes are explored, primarily to produce crystalline gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) nanoparticles, and surface modification is done to obtain stable, dispersible, biocompatible probes inducing high proton relaxivities.

2. Development of Mild Methods for Selective Covalent Functionalization of Graphene
Abstract : This thesis discusses methods for the comparatively mild covalent functionalization of graphene. Several graphene models were investigated: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-graphene on SiO2/Si substrate, graphite foil, graphite flakes, kish graphite and highly oriented pyrolytic graphite.

5. First Principles Studies of Functional Materials Based on Graphene and Organometallics
Abstract : Graphene is foreseen to be the basis of future electronics owing to its ultra thin structure, extremely high charge carrier mobility, high thermal conductivity etc., which are expected to overcome the size limitation and heat dissipation problem in silicon based transistors. READ MORE
