Abstract:

Emerging applications within different industrial sectors including automobile, energy, space and medicine place significant demands on performance of materials used. Precise control over structure and functionality of materials offer significant opportunity to meet such demands provided they can also be produced at high volumes with assured quality and reasonable costs. I will share promising approaches that we have seen over years, to produce diverse material nanoarrays, and functional colloids with geometry and surface functionality engineered down to molecular level. Outcomes that successfully bridge tradeoff between spatial resolutions, quality and throughput would be presented, with specific emphasis on medical sector, while carrying wider applicability to range of other sectors.
