| Description: | TETY Colloquia Friday, July 14, 2017 Speaker: Prof. Georgios Sotiriou Affiliation: Department of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden Title: Flame Nanomaterial and Device Engineering for Biomedicine Location: Computer Science Department, room A115 (ground floor) Time: 16:15 (sharp) Language: English Abstract: Nanoscale materials show great potential in the biomedical field as they can serve as superior bioimaging contrast agents, diagnostic and therapeutic tools, while a key element for the successful implementation of nanoscale materials in clinical applications is multi-functionality. However, the two main bottlenecks for the successful commercialization of such nanotechnologies, that are often neglected in studies, are scalability and reproducibility. Here, I will showcase a few recent examples of how flame nanoparticle synthesis, a nanomanufacture process famous for its scalability and reproducibility, may be employed for the production of sophisticated nanoscale materials to tackle important medical problems. A specific focus will be placed on the control of the physicochemical properties and functionality of flame-made nanostructures from simple oxides to multi-component core-shell nano-architectures and how their surface properties may be tuned for increased biocompatibility and superior performance. Finally, the incorporation of such functional nanomaterials in multi-scale structures will be highlighted, for example by the direct deposition of freshlyformed flame-made nanoparticles on selected substrates towards the rapid fabrication of reliable devices such as magnetic actuators and biosensors.
