The advent of Nanotechnology has paved a way for improved disease treatment strategies, the most noteworthy being the mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) which have gained much recent attention in the field of cancer therapy and its diagnosis. The flaws of
Mesoporous Materials include a range of high surface area porous silicates with applications in gas adsorption, drug delivery, diagnostics and catalysis.
Recent demand for electric and hybrid vehicles, coupled with a reduction in prices, has caused lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) to become an increasingly popular form of rechargeable battery technology.
Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
