Tailoring struc - tures and perme - ation properties of asymmetric nanocomposite cellulose acetate / silver membranes with bactericide activity

Luís Amaral João Figueirinhas The CeFEMA newsletter intents to disseminate the research activities in materials science and condensed matter physics developed in the Center to a wide scientific and non-scientific community. In this third number, some of the most recent achievements or ongoing projects are highlighted. Nanocomposite and nanostructured membranes for applications from water treatment to medical devices and artificial organs are focused in two contributions. Functional monoand few-atomic layer materials for nanoelectronics are also featured. Finally, another contribution reports on a work on NMR of liquid crystal dendrimers, which was reviewed in a recently published book by the authors. The featured works are good examples of the excellence and impact of the science developed in CeFEMA.
