University UK Expertise lies in two main Centres: The Centre for Materials Science Specific Nanotechnology / Nanomaterials related research interests include: Synthesis and Characterisation of Composite Metal Nanoparticles for Magnetic Storage Media; Computational Modelling of Nanostructured Soft Materials; Nanostructured/Mesoporous Metals & Ceramics for Energy Storage and Sensors; Nanocomposite Materials for Water Treatment. Specific examples of projects include: Ceramics: in collaboration with one of the worlds largest pigment manufacturers, they are developing nanocomposite particles for both ceramic precursor and pigmentary applications. Sensors and Analysis: again, in collaboration with one of the world’s largest nuclear companies, they are currently developing novel routes towards nanostructured metal surfaces for applications in waste remediation, water treatment and process monitoring and control. Energy Storage: closely related to the above is the use of nanostructured metal surfaces in energy storage devices. They are currently working with an SME in order to develop supercapacitors based on this technology with a view to ultimately using the materials developed in thin layer, flexible fuel cells.
