\r\n \r\n \r\n My work focuses mainly on thin films, nanocomposites, polymer nanocomposites etc. At first, fundamental studies are carried out on various materials, followed by their application-specific fine-tuning. E.g. we have found that by the controlled deposition of a molecular drug named Celecoxib using a physical vapour deposition technique at confined geometry, crystallization retarded celecoxib could be obtained, which is suitable for pharmaceutical applications.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”bottom” el_class=”container” css=”.vc_custom_1739796570116{margin-top: 10px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1739798254277{margin-bottom: -20px !important;}” el_class=”image-mobile”]\r\n
