Scalable Spark Ablation Synthesis of Nanoparticles: Fundamental Considerations and Application in Textile Nanofinishing

A major challenge in nanotechnology is that of determining how to introduce green principles when assembling individual nanoscale elements to create multifunctional working devices. This dissertation focuses on fundamentals (Part A), scaling-up (Part B) and application (Part C) of nanoparticles with sub-10 nm in size produced by ambient spark...
