ABOUT US
The research group challenges surface modifications and nano-dispersion of nano-functional materials technology, processing and assemblies of hybrids membrane, thin-film and fibers. We aims at integrated nano-materials and engineering systems technology for applications in energy, water and air quality.
KEY CHALLENGES
1. Self-cleaning surface
2. High-efficiency solar energy
3. Anti-microbial nano-coatings
4. Nano-dispersion in liquid and polymeric phases
5. Energy-efficient desalination system
