The aim of this thesis was to develop and test novel food-grade nanodispersions, such as nanoemulsions and solid lipid nanoparticles, for the encapsulation, protection and delivery of bioactive lipophilic food components. Initially, the impact of system composition and homogeniz…

This thesis presents a study of lasing properties and optical amplification in semiconducting conjugated polymers and dendrimers. Configured as surface-emitting distributed feedback lasers, the effect of incorporating wavelength-scale microstructure on the output of the devices …

We have developed a carrier system to encapsulate Indocyanine Green (ICG) to overcome its limitations for laser-mediated medical applications. Charge-assembled capsules with controllable size and adjustable coatings efficiently encapsulate ICG and effectively stabilize its optic…
