Aim of the project
To obtain a deeper knowledge of how surface modified silica nanoparticles behave in colloidal and surface chemical contexts
To evaluate the stability of the functionalization of silica and the dynamics of the particle surface
To identify suitable characterization methods that can be used for the study of surface modified silica particles
To evaluate application areas within the field of stabilization of disperse systems
