Summary
In order to provide a hydrophobic shell optionally also for covalently coupling to the surface Lurederra will functionalize nanoparticles Pure organic shells will be used based on organic materials such as oleic acid or polymeric shells For that it is possible to address in two different ways to directly functionalise the nanoparticles in the final DCM solvent or selecting suitable solvents for the functionalisation then recovering the hydrophobic powder and redispersing in the DCM and carrier solution eg SLEC 7552 They will determine the particle size distribution by means of Zsizer and address the grade of hydrophobicity reached Particles are sent to KIT From there they get feedback if these particles can be used for nano3D printing If not TEC and Lurederra will modify the synthesis and functionalisation parameters in order to adjust the properties size and hydrophobicity and will send optimised samples to KITNext KIT will formulate 5 different nanoparticles from TEC and Lurederra into donor slides and transfer them to an acceptor slide
