The following are current funded research projects taking place within the research division:
 FlexNanoFlowPrincipal Investigator: Lorenzo BOTTO Funding source: Commission of the European Community 2D nanomaterials hold immense technological promise thanks to extraordinary intrinsic properties such as ultra-high conductivity, strength and unusual semiconducting properties. Our understanding of how these extremely thin and flexible objects are processed in flow is however inadequate, and this is hindering progress towards true market applications. When processed in liquid ... |
