11. Molecular Thermodynamic Models for Nano-Micro Fluid/Solid Interfaces
Abstract : Introducing materials with large interfaces to enhance process performance has become a feature of advanced chemical engineering, where the research focus has been changed from the traditional ideal isotropic fluid in the bulk phase to the highly non-ideal anisotropic confined fluid on the nano-micro interfaces, owing to the strong and asymmetric interactions between the complex fluids (supported metal nanoparticles, ionic liquids, proteins, etc.) and the sophisticated solid-surface (roughness, electrostatic effects, chemical heterogeneities, etc. READ MORE

12. Assembly and alignment in cellulose nanomaterial-based composite dispersions and thermally insulating foams
Abstract : Research on nanoparticles extracted from renewable and highly available sources is motivated by both the development of functional nanomaterials and the drive to replace widely used materials based on fossil resources. In particular, cellulose, in the form of cellulose nanomaterials (CNM), has attracted increased attention for the development of sustainable and high performance products, thanks to properties that include high specific mechanical strength, chemical versatility and anisotropic thermal conductivity.

13. Nanostructured electromagnetic metasurfaces at optical frequencies
Abstract : Electromagnetic metasurfaces are broadly defined as optically thin layersthat are structured on the subwavelength scale. In general, metasurfacesthus consist of nanoparticles, or other kinds of ”meta-atom”, arranged insome pattern where both the individual particle sizes and the inter-particledistances are much smaller than the wavelength.

14. Following nanoparticle self-assembly in real-time : Small-angle X-ray scattering and quartz crystal microbalance study of self-assembling iron oxide nanocubes
Abstract : Self-assembly of nanoparticles is a widely used technique to produce nanostructured materials with crystallographic coherence on the atomic scale, i.e. mesocrystals, which can display useful collective properties. This thesis focusses on the underlying mechanism and dynamics of mesocrystal formation by using real-time techniques. READ MORE

15. Composite Nanostructured Materials for Renewable Energy Applications
Abstract : Diverse sources of energy are becoming increasingly significant in today's world. The most common source of energy today is fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and gas. While this energy source has many advantages, it also comes with many problems. READ MORE
