Carbon Nanostructures
Carbon nanostructures include various low-dimension allotropes of carbon including carbon nanotubes, the C60 family of buckyballs, polyaromatic molecules and graphene. Our research focuses first on synthesising well-controlled materials and molecules tailored to specific applications such as high-strength nanocomposites and electronic transport. Second, we wish to further our understanding of those novel materials with the help of theoretical calculations and to assess their safety through detailed studies of their impact on health and the environment.
Professor of Materials Chemistry with the Nanostructured Materials and Devices Research Section, Department of Chemistry.
Research focuses on the synthesis and applications of high aspect nanomaterials, particularly carbon nanotubes and graphenes, but including systems based on titania, zinc oxide, and layered double hydroxides. These materials are processed into hierarchical assemblies and composites for structural and functional applications
