Provide Description
Nanotechnology: Totally Funded EPSRC and Grove Supplies Ltd PhD Scholarship: Designer Nanoparticles for Biomedicine and Vitality: Physics Meets Biology and Chemistry
Nanostructured supplies already play a significant position in society. For instance, the crimson strains on a Covid check are nanoscale gold particles. The standard strategy to their manufacturing employs solvents and chemical substances which current well being hazards and environmental challenges. On this challenge we are going to exploit breakthroughs in certainly one of two related areas, in response to the experience of the coed:
Examples of the steel nanoparticles are gold for medical diagnostics and most cancers remedy; iridium and platinum for clear power (hydrogen); and silicon for photonics and photo voltaic. They are going to be characterised by state-of-the-art strategies together with XPS, SEM, TEM, dynamic mild scattering, optical strategies and mass spec. The manufacturing strategies will mix atomistic and molecular (together with protein molecule) deposition in vacuum with wafer and roll-to-roll expertise and post-processing to reap nanoparticles on a scale starting with grams, heading for kilograms and with the potential for tonnes – representing a revolutionary paradigm-shift in (bio) supplies manufacturing on the interface between science frontiers and technological and medical functions.
The challenge will go well with a wonderful scholar who enjoys design, sensible experimental work, pc modelling and modern concepts and needs to contribute to a wholesome planet. Your background may very well be in physics, bodily chemistry/engineering, or biomedical sciences, and your position will probably be tuned accordingly. You’ll have good communication and staff work expertise and a world outlook.
The co-sponsoring firm Grove Nanomaterials Ltd springs from Swansea College and has licensed the background patents invented by the Major Supervisor. It’s bold and pleasant. The work envisaged has the potential to contribute to vital nationwide and worldwide affect when it comes to well being, financial development, College status and new scientific publications.
