Polymer and Nanomaterials Research Laboratory | Koc University-Opet Nanotechnology Research Center
Research
Polymer and Nanomaterials Research Laboratory houses research activities towards a fundamental understanding of the structure-property relationship in materials at all length scales. Our research group develops functional materials to advance technology in a variety of fields from medicine to lasers, coatings to electronics.
Koc University-Opet Nanotechnology Research Center (KUNAL) is for researching materials in the nanometer range for industrial applications, mainly for authentification.
We mostly work with nanoparticles and polymers.
Nanoparticlesare fascinating materials with dramatically different properties than their bulk forms, offering tremendous opportunities in medicine, optics, electronics, etc. We produce semiconductor quantum dots, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles , gold nanoparticles, carbon-dots and their hybrids. Polymers offer tremendous opportunities in every field. We combine nanoparticles and polymers to bring the best features of each together, creating speciality materials.
