Project of the Slovak Research and Development Agency (APVV) APVV-0125-11

Project duration: 07/2012 - 12/2015

Principal investigator: RNDr. Alexander Cigáň, CSc.

The project is focused on the preparation of composite nanoparticles with different size, shape and morphology (spherical, corelshell) by miniemulsion polymerization of unsaturated monomers and the reduction of metal saltslcomplexes at higher temperatures The particle surface will be modified with functional bioligands which leads to the formation of water-soluble bioconjugates. The project output will be also in development of nanosizeable biosensors with ordered composition the study of immobilizer mechanism of biomolecules to the composite and polymer matrix and biodecorated nanoparticles.
