Flinders University has a significant group of forty or so researchers interested in building, studying, or working with nanostructures and molecular interactions.

The University has recently identified this Group - the Nanostructures and Molecular Interactions Research Group - as one in which it will invest strategically for the future. Collaborations between its members have led to a distinctive line of research in which molecular assembly processes are linked with nanostructure development as well as the regulation and manipulation of molecular processes.

Flinders University was the first university in the world to offer a degree in Nanotechnology, commencing a four year honours program in 2000 by the Faculty of Science and Engineering.

Research in Nanotechnology encompasses a range of projects, and is a direct reflection of the broad interdisciplinary fields that define nanotechnology. These research themes are focused on the following areas:
  • Biodevices
  • Molecular Design
  • Surface Imaging
  • Material

Two-Dimensional Nanostructures

Two-Dimensional Nanostructures
After the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov "for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene," even more research and development efforts have been focused on two-dimensional nanostructures. Illustrating the importance of this area in future applications, Two-Dimensional Nanostructures covers the fabrication methods and properties of these materials.

Particle Technology and Applications

Particle Technology and Applications
Particle Technology and Applications presents the theoretical and technological background of particle science and explores up-to-date applications of particle technologies in the chemical, petrochemical, energy, mechanical, and materials industries. It looks at the importance of particle science and technology in the development of efficient chemical processes and novel functional materials.
