Mass production of nanowires and nanorods using ball milling and annealing processes
The fundamental problem of commercialising emerging technologies related to nanomaterials is in the scaling-up of materials successfully grown in the laboratory so that they can be produced in bulk and also tested at that level. Only when this is achieved can the hope of efficient commercialisation be realised. This research direction is related to the development of a new synthesis route for nanowires and nanorods based on ball milling and annealing.
