Nanotechnology research areas: Electrospun nanofibres Nanocomposites Nanoparticles

Introduction

The nanotechnology group at the Centre for Material and fibre Innovation focuses on nanomaterial research and works in conjunction with the other groups in the centre.

Nanomaterials can be grouped under nanoparticles, nano-intermediates (nano-films, nano-membrane, etc.), and nanocomposites. They include nanocrystalline materials such as ceramic, metal and metal oxide nanoparticles; fullerenes, nanotubes and related structures; nanofibers and wires; nano-films, nano-membranes; and hybrid organic-inorganic nanoarchitechtures.

The nanotechnology group offers research, development, training and consultancy services in the field of nanomaterials.
