nanoparticle PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 52 nanoparticle PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Understanding nanoparticle hydrogen fuel cell catalysts using electron microscopy
About the Project. Project Description. Solving the worlds energy crisis is the most pressing need for humanity as we move away from globally harming and unsustainable fossil fuels for energy production. Read more
Self-assembly of nanoparticles on thin films and droplets of surfactant-polymer mixes
Many types of nanomaterials rely on the self-assembly process of their corresponding nanoparticles. Soft matter thin films are often used as templates to direct the assembly of the nanoparticles into desired arrangements. Read more
Nanoparticle delivery of antibiotics for treatment of pulmonary infection
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major global risk to human health by causing death, disability, longer hospitalisations, and increased healthcare costs. Read more
Nanoprecision in antibiotic delivery using targeted nanoparticles
Gram-negative bacterial species, including E. coli, are major causes of infectious diseases worldwide and account for all organisms in the “critical” category of the WHO list of antibiotic-resistant "priority pathogens". Read more
Iron oxyhydroxide nanoparticle crystallisation and transformation during radioactive effluent treatment: Application to the Enhanced Actinide Removal Plant
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. The treatment of radioactive effluents is a key process in the decommissioning of nuclear sites in the UK and worldwide. Read more
GEMS Topic: Nanoparticle-Mediated siRNA Delivery Targeting Novel Molecular Pathways for Immune Modulation and Drug Sensitivity in Colon Cancer
This project will identify the genes regulating immune evasion in colon cancer. Using a nanoparticle delivery system, the siRNA targeting the specific gene will be delivered. Read more
Combining ultrafast spectroscopy with nanotechnology to develop new protein analysis tools
Background. Gaining rapid access to information on protein structure in the solution phase is essential to applications ranging from pharmaceutical design and manufacture to the early diagnosis of diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer’s disease using patient blood samples. Read more
