Detection of food freshness and pesticides through chemical interaction of liquids or gases with surfaces

Author(s): Edoardo Donà (Author), Aleksandra Lobnik (Supervisor), Uroš Cvelbar (Co-Supervisor)

Year: 2025

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Food, water, and sleep form the foundation of human needs, all of which are indispensable. However, unlike sleep, food and water have historically been beyond direct human control. Since ancient times, hunter-gatherers have migrated in search of these essential resources. The advent of agriculture marked a turning point, allowing humans …

Nanoengineering for enhanced toxic metals adsorption: Nanoengineering for Enhanced Toxic Metals Adsorption: From Synthesis to Biorecognition

Author(s): Allwin Mabes Raj (Author), Aleksandra Lobnik (Supervisor), Aleš Lapanje (Co-Supervisor)

Year: 2025

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Environmental contamination by toxic metals—such as Pb²⁺, Cr³⁺, and Hg²⁺—and organometallic species like monomethylmercury (MeHg) presents one of the most persistent global challenges due to their bioaccumulation, long-term toxicity, and resistance to degradation. This thesis addresses this critical issue through a multidisciplinary approach combining nanotechnology, environmental chemistry, biosensor engineering, and …
