TSU research will increase the purity and activity of nanoparticles

2018-01-26
Daria Goncharova, a graduate student of SPhTI, won a scholarship of the President of the Russian Federation for research in which a new method for synthesizing medical nanoparticles will be applied. Preparing nanoantibiotics by pulsed laser ablation in a gaseous medium can substantially increase the purity and activity of the final product. In the future, the development by the young scientist could be used to make bandages that accelerate wound regeneration and to improve the antibacterial properties of biomaterials for bone replacement.
Under the guidance of Valery Svetlichny, assistant professor at the Faculty of Physics, deputy head of the Laboratory of Advanced Materials and Technologies, Daria Goncharova will be engaged in synthesizing nanoparticles based on copper and zinc. The method of pulsed laser ablation of volumetric targets (PLA) has been chosen to obtain them, because one of the main requirements for materials used in medicine is their purity.
