Course content
1. nanomaterials and their functionalization - fundamental terminology used at he lectures 2. characterisation of possible targets of tailored functionalization, modes of functionalizations, possible toxicity impact of the performed functionalization (incl. synergic effect) 3. non-metal nanomaterials and their functionalizations (selected non-metal nanomaterials and their functionalization, mode sof functionalizations, possible impact of the performed functionalization on toxicity of the as-prepared nanomaterial) 4. nanomaterials on the basis of non-metal oxides and their functionalizations (examples of selected nanomaterials and their possible functionalizations, modes in which the functionalizations are realized, impact of the functionalization on toxicity of the as-prepared nanomaterial) 5. metal nanomaterials and their tailored functionalizations (specific materials and their possible tailored functionalizations) 6. practical examples of application of selected range of functionalised nanomaterials

Learning outcomes
The course is aimed on a range of metal/non-metal nanomaterials and their oxides including their tailored functionalisation necessary for their specific/targeted applications or for research purpose. Also variety of functionalization approaches will be discussed with respect to its possible impact on physico-chemical-toxicological properties of these newly prepared materials.
