Porous nanosystems for biological applications

Abstract

The present thesis aims to provide suitable information on the fundamentals about the controlled manipulation and targeted application of nanoscale porous materials. The research interests in this work are focused on the controlled colloidal synthesis and functionalization of two specific porous materials based on porous coordination polymers (PCPs) and calcium carbonate polymeric nanoparticles (CCPNs), as nanocarriers for intended biological and catalytic applications.
