Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The lecture is focused on introduction into the nanomaterials and their functionalization applicable in a wide range of metal/non-metal nanomaterials and their oxides. The approach to functionalization is given into a context with specific/targeted applications or for a research purpose. The functionalization approaches will be discussed with respect to its possible impact on physico-chemical-toxicological properties of these newly prepared materials.

Summary
The course will get students acquainted with fundamental knowledge concerning nanomaterials based on non-metals, metals and their oxides. The course is also focused on various routes leading to functionalization of nanometrials and the influence of the performed functionalization on properties of the newly formed nanomaterials including their potential toxicity. Finally, examples of possible applications of these nanomaterials are discussed.
