11. Nanotoxicology on the right track : focus on metal and metal oxide nanoparticles
Abstract : The last decade has seen a rapid increase in the manufacture and use of nanomaterials, a development which should be met with appropriate safety assessment strategies in order to ensure the sustainable development of nanotechnology. With decreasing size, the percentage of atoms found at the surface of a given material increases substantially, leading to an increase in surface phenomena and acquisition of novel properties.

13. Plasma Synthesis and Self-Assembly of Magnetic Nanoparticles
Abstract : Nanomaterials are important tools for enabling technological progress as they can provide dramatically different properties as compared to the bulk counterparts. The field of nanoparticles is one of the most investigated within nanomaterials, thanks to the existing, relatively simple, means of manufacturing. READ MORE

14. Design and characterization of nanoparticles and their assemblies : Transmission electron microscopy investigations from atomic to mesoscopic length scales
Abstract : Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a powerful and versatile tool for investigating nanomaterials. In this thesis, various transmission electron microscopy techniques are used to study the chemical and structural features of different types of inorganic nanoparticles of well-defined morphologies as well as their assemblies.

15. Nanostructured Metal Oxide Semiconductors for Functional Applications
Abstract : This thesis is about nanostructured metal oxides, their properties, and some of their applications. Semiconducting metal oxides like TiO2, ZnO,and SnO2 have a wide band gap, which means they absorb UV light andgenerate electron-hole pairs. READ MORE
