Our research areas
Originally established in 2003 to focus on the the emerging area of nanomaterials research, the centre has since evolved to a large, multi-disciplinary group. The current research focus is the synthesis and characterisation of nanomaterials in the three key areas of energy, environment and health.
A major component of research at the nanomaterials centre investigates new nanomaterials for clean energy generation, storage and applications.
Separating molecules accounts for a large share of industrial energy use, and membranes are among the lowest-energy ways to do it. Centre research covers metal–organic framework glasses, gas separation membranes, and framework-based membranes for water purification.
Health care is an application area in which functional nanomaterials show great promise. Centre research spans engineered nanocarriers for drug, gene and immunotherapy delivery, nanoparticle probes for medical imaging and early diagnosis, and printable soft materials for devices that interface with living tissue.
Light is both a probe and a product in nanomaterials research. Centre work in optics covers luminescent framework and perovskite materials, scintillators for X-ray imaging and radiation detection, and optical sensing platforms that turn a change in chemistry into a change in emission.
