This project focuses on developing new types of hollow nanoparticles that serve as solid lubricants and exploring their potential in medical technologies. The research includes creating self-lubricating coatings and conducting bio-compatibility studies to assess their application in healthcare.
Back in 1992 we have found that nanoparticles of inorganic compounds with layered (2D) structure, including MoS2, NiBr2, Cs2O and many others, form hollow closed nanostructures- i.e. fullerene-like nanoparticles (IF) and nanotubes (INT).
These nanoparticles serve as very good solid lubricants and are now exploited commercially.
Using the leverage of the ERC project we have recently made major progress with the synthesis of new IF and INT, including SnS2 nanotubes and MoS2 nanooctahedra.
