This module contains two projects examining the development and use of innovative nanomaterials, nanocomposites and novel building materials. In addition, they evaluate the potential health hazards and environmental risks associated with these materials throughout their life cycle.
In the future, further projects can be added to this module. Areas of main interest are the use of nanomaterials in food and food packaging and consumer products as well as long-term effects, toxicokinetics or organ toxicity.
