Abstract

Nanotechnology in general and nanoparticles in particular are receiving increasing attention because of their almost unlimited possibilities and applications. In the group of Nanotechnology of the Institute of Chemistry and Bioanalytics of the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland (Fachhochschule Nordwest-schweiz), a new nanoparticle technology platform has been developed. The main research axes concern silica and self-assembled nanoparticles, and their applications in life sciences. The laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art spectroscopy and microscopy tools.
