Abstract:

Nanotechnology provides novel strategies for the design of nanocomposites with precisely tunable physicochemical properties, enabling their application in many fields. Among various hybrid systems, polymeric matrices modified with inorganic nanoparticles - particularly superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) and carbon-based nanoparticles - have emerged as multifunctional materials with significant potential. The integration of inorganic nanostructures not only enhances the mechanical, optical, and thermal properties of polymeric matrices but also brings additional functionalities such as magnetic responsiveness, highly effective adsorption, etc. These hybrid systems can interact with a wide range of organic compounds like water contaminants, including pharmaceuticals and dyes, while also can serve as efficient platforms for controlled drug delivery and photocatalysis. This presentation discusses recent advances in the development and multifunctional applications of polymer–inorganic nanoparticles-based composites, emphasizing the role of experimental conditions in the nanoparticle dispersion in the composite, surface processes, and overall functional performance of the composites.

BIO:

Dr Magdalena Osial works at the Institute of Fundamental Technological Research, Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. She graduated from the University of Warsaw and completed internships in Belgium, United Kingdom, and United States. Her interdisciplinary research focuses on nanomaterials, with particular expertise in the synthesis and characterization of magnetic nanomaterials for biomedical applications, including targeted therapy, drug delivery, and tissue regeneration. In addition, she develops novel nanocomposite systems and magnetorheological fluid formulations and environmental applications. Beyond her scientific research, she is actively involved in science communication, organizing workshops, lectures, and demonstrations for audiences of all ages. She also mentors young researchers, several of whom have achieved distinction in national and international scientific competitions under her guidance.
