Nanotechnology at TUL

We investigate and prepare nanomaterials for a better world

Biomedical applications We fight infection with nanomaterials. We test tissue carriers and antibacterial properties of materials.

Nanochemistry We synthesize organic substances, prepare nanoparticles and modify nanomaterials for use in medicine.

Research in nanomaterials is focused at the Institute for Nanomaterials, Advanced Technologies and Innovation TUL.
