The Chemical Nanoscience Group
Sponsors of the Chemical Nanoscience group.
Chemical Nanoscience is concerned with the synthesis, properties, and modelling of materials with features on the low nanometre (10-9 m) length scale. This is of the order of atomic and molecular lengths, and confining materials to such dimensions allows extreme miniaturization and can also induce unusual properties on materials not observed in the bulk.
Major interests of the group lie in the synthesis of functional nano-structured and nano-scale materials, specifically low-dimensional systems (monolayers, wires and particles), fundamental studies of their chemical and physical properties, (e.g., electronic and photonic), and in addressing critical scientific problems associated with their development towards applications.
The group has extensive collaborations with colleagues in the Institutes of Cell and Molecular Bioscience (ICAMB), Nanoscale Science and Technology (INSAT), and the School of Chemical Engineering and Advanced Materials (CEAM).
