Abstract in another language

The present work deals with techniques for the investigation of agglomeration processes. On the one hand, the nucleation and growth kinetics of nanoparticles were investigated; on the other hand, microfluidic chips were developed and manufactured in order to observe medical and biological processes in vitro under dynamic conditions. The focus of this doctoral thesis relates to the kinetic investigations of zinc oxide and palladium nanoparticles, which were carried out in situ during the respective synthesis. This was achieved through a combination of partly microfluidic systems with analytical methods, which include X-ray scattering and optical spectroscopy.

Abstract in another language

Die vorliegende Arbeit behandelt Techniken zur Untersuchung von Agglomerationsprozessen. Zum einen wurden die Keimbildungs- und Wachstumskinetik von Nanopartikeln untersucht, zum anderen wurden Mikrofluidik-Chips entwickelt und angefertigt, um medizinische und biologische Prozesse in vitro unter dynamischen Bedingungen zu beobachten. Der Fokus dieser Doktorarbeit bezieht sich auf die kinetischen Untersuchungen von Zinkoxid- und Palladium-Nanopartikeln, die in situ während der jeweiligen Synthese durchgeführt wurden. Dies wurde durch eine Kombination von zum Teil mikrofluidischen Systemen mit analytischen Methoden, zu denen Röntgenstreuung und optische Spektroskopie gehören.
