The invited talk delivered by dr. Dimitrios Giannakoudakis at Universidad de Granada with title ​“Smart multifunctional nano-tailored MOF-based composite and textiles for photocatalytic oriented applications” was a unique opportunity to present our results and lab expertise derived within the frame of our OPUS-13 (Nr. 2017/25/B/ST8/01592) project (National Science Centre in Poland). The discussion elevated the prosperity towards new collaborative research projects with Prof. Modesto T. López López, Prof. Luis Álvarez de Cienfuegos Rodríguez, and Prof. Mariusz Barczak on how to merge the knowledge and experience on advantageous photo-active nanomaterials and on hydrogels for bio-medical applications.
