A short presentation of the CNMN research activity
The improvement of the life quality and the health and safety of people and the industrial development of novel products and technologies – they all have the fabrication of novel materials with novel functionalities and improved properties as a starting point.
This aim is served by the research activity of the teams working within the National Center of Micro and Nanomaterials (which is part of the Department of Science and Engineering of Oxide Materials and Nanomaterials of the Faculty of Applied Chemistry and Materials Science, University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest), as the proposed research programs are
focusing on the development of breakthrough multifunctional materials, nano or microstructured, which combine oxide, organic, polymeric, or metallic materials and have pre-established properties.
The proposed research activity is comprehensive by including the synthesis, processing, characterization, modeling, and validation of the novel multifunctional materials.
