Research Topic Nanoparticle Aggregates
Many synthesis techniques deliver interesting brick stones for nanotechnology, but how can we assemble them in a reasonable manner? Very likely, there is not a single universal procedure to construct nano devices. Such devices have to be generated by a whole hierarchy of assembly steps. The aggregation in emulsions is a promising tool on the lowest hierarchy level. NPAs are one possible step towards more complicating assemblies. This research area was active in our research group until 2013, but it has still an influence on the on-going research.
