Nanoparticles research program

The nanoparticle research program at UNSW, led by Prof Rose Amal, focuses on developing innovative approaches and improved methods to tailor-make and functionalise nanoparticles and nanocoatings for applications in the areas of sustainable environment, biomedical engineering and energy. This program draws upon the complementary expertise of researchers from Australia and overseas institutions (UNSW, UQ, CSIRO, ETH-Zurich, UCLA, Griffith, UWA). The program has twelve projects as listed in the table below:

 

Project

Functionalisation of magnetic particles for bio-separation

Preparation and functionalisation of magnetic gold nanoparticles for biosensor applications

A novel photochemical technique for preparing silver doped titanium dioxide powder and coating for bactericidal applications

Development and optimisation of a novel optical fibre photoreactor for photocatalytic application

Advanced oxidation processes for the removal of natural organic matter from raw water

Synthesis of visible light active surfaces

Preparation of iron oxide nanoparticles for gene therapy application

Designing of hierarchal 1-D metal oxides nanostructures by hydrothermal reaction

Synthesis of mesoporous TiO2 thin films for environmental remediation

Flame-synthesis of Copper-Ceria catalysts

Skeletal catalysts

Synthesis and assembly of low-dimensional metal nanoparticles
