National Institute of Chemistry was a host institution for traditional meeting SLONANO 2010: it was organised for researchers that are working on the field of chemistry, physics and other fields in research and industry. This year conference was specialy devoted to the filed of »Nanosensors and nanomaterials for Advanced Sensors", "Surface Nanoscience" and "New approaches to«. Organizers of the conference invited several top level world researchers from the devoted fields and this was a motivation for mainly younger collegaues to present their works from different fields of nanotechnology.
B.01 Organiser of a scientific meeting
COBISS.SI-ID: 24089383Sodium titanate nanotubes (NaTiNTs) and nanoribbons (NaTiNRs) were doped with Cu2+ ions by two different approaches. In situ doped NaTiNTs were synthesized from TiO2 that contained 3 wt. % of Cu2+. For ex situ doping were already synthesized NaTiNTs and NaTiNRs disperezed into the solution of Cu2+ salt. Correlation of HAADF, EELS and EPR techniques for ex situ doped samples revealed that on the titanate surface grow 5-40 nm sized CuO nanoparticles. EPR results for both type of samples showed that Cu2+ ions that are intercalated between titanate layers coordinated with Na+ ions.
B.03 Paper at an international scientific conference
COBISS.SI-ID: 22024999The lecture was prepared for undergraduate students of chemistry at Université Mons-Hainaut. where I presented hydrothermal technique as one of the technique used for the synthesis of nanomaterials. The influence of different reaction parameters like temperature, reaction time, and concentration on the morphology and dimensions of MnO2 and sodium titanate nanostructures was discussed.
B.04 Guest lecture
COBISS.SI-ID: 22495527Nanocomposites from different polyanalines and with different wt. % of sodium titanate nanotubes and nanoribbons (1-5 wt. %) were prepared extrusion process. Prepared nanocomposites were characterized with EPR.
B.04 Guest lecture
COBISS.SI-ID: 11207195Fullerenes in the past 25 years attracted a lot of attention due to their technologically interesting electronic, magnetic, and tribological properties. At the Jožef Stefan Institute, the research of fullerenes has been active since 1993 and within this time framework we have achieved many important scientific findings that are reported in more than 100 scientific journals, among which are several articles published in Science. For these achievements in the research of C60 with electron spin resonance was an assistant professor dr. Arčon in 2008 awarded with National award “Zoisovo priznanje”
