1. Ceria Nanoparticle Hybrid Materials : Interfacial Design and Structure Control
Abstract : This doctoral thesis addresses the challenge of bringing two very different materials into intimate chemical contact: inorganic metal oxide nanoparticles and acrylic polymers. In order to achieve this ambitious goal, the work has been divided into a series of more accessible tasks. READ MORE

2. Nanocomposite films for corrosion protection
Abstract : This thesis describes technical and scientific aspects of new types of composite films/coatings for corrosion protection of carbon steel, composite films with nanometer thickness consisting of mussel adhesive protein (Mefp‐1) and ceria nanoparticles, and polymeric composite coatings with micrometre thickness consisting of conducting polymer and ceria nanoparticles in a UV‐curing polyester acrylate (PEA) resin.The influence of microstructure on corrosion behaviour was studied for a Fe‐Cr‐V‐N alloy containing micro‐sized nitrides with different chemical composition spread in martensitic alloy matrix.

3. The Mussel Adhesive Protein (Mefp-1) : A GREEN Corrosion Inhibitor
Abstract : Corrosion of metallic materials is a natural process, and our study shows that even in an alkaline environment severe corrosion may occur on a carbon steel surface. While corrosion cannot be stopped it can be retarded. READ MORE

4. Engineered nanomaterials in in vivo and in vitro models
Abstract : Nanotechnology and engineered nanomaterials (ENM) empower existing technologies. One of the great examples are III-V semiconductor nanowires (NW), which have a broad application range. The occupational safety and hazard organizations draw attention to ENM, as their physical and chemical characteristics differ from the ones of bulk materials. READ MORE

5. Platinum-free Electrocatalysts : Design, Synthesis, and Energy Applications
Abstract : Pt is one of the most commonly used catalysts for green energy applications, such as fuel cells, electrolyzers, and dye-sensitized solar cells. Although enormous effort has been put into improving the catalytic activity and minimizing the usage of Pt in the catalysts, the low abundance and high price of Pt still limit the large-scale commercialization of green energy devices and facilities.
