Research in Particle Engineering Centre
Research in the Particle Engineering Centre
Ongoing research - Thematic areas
Ongoing research activities focus on synthesis, characterization and tailoring of particles for use in nanomedicine and environmental applications.
Typical activities within particle design:
- Controlling particle size, size distribution, shape, morphology
- Understanding nucleation and growth mechanisms
- Surface modifications with different moieties
- Modelling particle formation
- Role of passivating ligands in controlling growth
- Statistical design of experiments and analysis
Typical activities within particle characterization:
- Particle surface characterization
- Particle size and size distribution measurement
- Spectroscopic analysis
- Elemental detection
- Electron microscopy
- Magnetic properties
Equipment and instruments for characterization available through the Particle Engineering Core Facility.
Projects
- NTNU Interdiciplinary Sustainability Project: HolE-LIB – Developing a Holistic Ecosystem for Sustainable Repurposing and/or Recycling of Lithium-ion Batteries (LIBs) in Norway and the EU
Sustainability
The Particle Engineering Centre has focus on sustainability and has developed a sustainability framework for it's operation.
