E7: Nanotehnologii emergente
Per aspera ad astra În general, expresia “Tehnologii emergente” acoperă tehnologii noi și cu potențial ridicat, care pot fi considerate critice pentru viitorul umanității (de exemplu, manipularea genetică, inteligența artificială, energia alternativă și nanotehnologia). Astfel, chiar dacă nanotehnologia este ea însăși o tehnologie emergentă, când vorbim despre “Nanotehnologii emergente” ne concentrăm asupra unor noi aplicații, precum protecția mediului, protecția patrimoniului cultural sau dezvoltarea de noi materiale de construcție, domenii în care membrii echipei de cercetare posedă o experiență recunoscută, fapt dovedit de lucrările științifice publicate, brevetele și proiectele de cercetare dezvoltate. Domeniile de cercetare acoperite de Echipa Nanotehnologii emergente (documentate de peste 130 de publicații în reviste ISI, brevete și proiecte de cercetare) pot fi rezumate după cum urmează: a. Sinteza, caracterizarea și aplicarea de noi nanomateriale pentru protecția mediului; b. Dezvoltarea de noi nanomateriale cu proprietăți antimicrobiene; c. Obținerea de materiale de construcție (bazate pe nanomateriale) cu proprietăți speciale; d. Sinteza și caracterizarea nanomaterialelor pentru aplicații legate de protecția patrimoniului cultural; studii de arheometrie. Echipa Nanotehnologii emergente urmărește: – Promovarea inovării privind utilizarea nanomaterialelor în aplicații noi, de vârf; – Implementarea colaborărilor în cercetare la nivel local (INCDCP-ICECHIM) și cu partenerii naționali și internaționali, în domeniile pentru care grupul dispune de experiență dovedită; – Elaborarea de proiecte de cercetare independente, așa cum sunt prezentate în capitolul “Proiecte de cercetare”. Schimbarea principală a direcției la nivelul echipei de cercetare este reprezentată de tranziția de la metode chimice pentru obținerea nanoparticulelor metalice la metode bazate pe “chimia verde”, respectiv fitosinteza nanoparticulelor metalice pentru aplicații biomedicale. Sinteza, caracterizarea și aplicațiile surfactanților (naturali) reprezintă noul domeniu de cercetare explorat. În același timp, echipa de cercetare explorează utilizarea sistemelor coloidale în aplicații legate de creșterea calității vieții (cum ar fi aplicațiile industriale – detergenți-cosmetice, prelucrarea metalelor, textile, medicină, agricultură și aplicații de mediu).
