Almost 4 years as product development manager in Henkel adhesives. Experience in applied research with companies from different sectors: Energy (Repsol), cosmetics (L'oreal), consumer goods (Procter&Gamble) and paints (BASF).
My background in nanotechnology and polymer science in addition to my experience at Henkel dealing with different business units and a high level of English and German provide me with the required skills to lead and collaborate in multidisciplinary teams.
Strongest areas: Colloidal science (surfactant and emulsion technologies), polymer science, adhesives, polymeric dispersions, polyurethanes, epoxy resins, encapuslation techniques, nanoparticles, among other topics.
Abstract
The fabrication of colloidal mesoporous silver nanoparticles of a tunable mesopore size is presented. These nanoparticles form stable colloidal suspensions, have narrow particle size distributions in the 60–200 nm range and size of the mesopores was enlarged by means of two different swelling agents, 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene (TMB). Colloidal mesoporous silica nanoparticles exhibit a strong affinity for the adsorption of hemoglobin (Hb). however, the adsorption of these biomolecules on silver nanoparticles occurs rapidly and most of what is adsorbed is accommodated on the external surface area of the silver nanoparticles. Computational methods are applied to study the interaction of silver nanoparticles and biomolecules
