Research areas:
She is a well-known colloid chemist researching aqueous interfacial equilibria, adsorption, pH and ionic strength dependent surface charging of polyelectrolytes, clay mineral and metal oxide particles, and the colloidal stability of composite systems. Recently, she focuses on the synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles, magnetic fluids and nanocomposites, as well as their environmentally relevant applications, such as magnetic adsorbents for the separation of micropollutants.
