Research project: Bartlett & Nandhakumar: Nanostructured Materials

The diameters of the pores and the thickness of the metal walls between the pores can be controlled through the choice of surfactant template used in the deposition. This unique approach has great flexibility and can be applied to a wide range of materials giving films with unique physical properties. Our current work focuses both on the applications of these materials and on fundamental studies and is supported by both research council and industrial funding.
