Research in the Nanomaterials Group (NMG) is focused on the fundamental and applied aspects of synthesis and characterization of carbon nanomaterials (nanotubes, nanodiamond and nanoporous carbons), ceramic nanoparticles (whiskers, nanowires, etc) and composites. NMG develops and studies new nanomaterials and works closely with industry with the goal to significantly decrease the time from discovery to commercial application of new materials.

Current research topics include:
• Carbide derived carbons with tunable porosity for applications in:
- Supercapacitors and batteries
- Gas (hydrogen, methane) storage
- Biomedical materials (selective adsorption, etc.)
• Carbon nanopipes for nanofluidic devices and fundamental fluid behavior at the nanoscale
• Composites containing carbon nanotubes and diamond nanoparticles
• Detonation nanodiamond – surface modification, properties and applications
• Carbon coatings on SiC fibers and whiskers
• Raman spectroscopy, including in situ studies under pressure, high temperatures and in reactive environments, and surface enhanced Raman
• Environmental SEM and TEM study of nanomaterials and nanostructures
NMG is a part of the A.J. Drexel Nanotechnology Institute (DNI).

The Nanomaterials Handbook.


The Nanomaterials Handbook, edited by Dr. Yury Gogotsi was published on January 26th, 2006 and is in stock now.

The book provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of nanomaterials. Employing terminology familiar to materials scientists and engineers, it provides an introduction that delves into the unique nature of nanomaterials. Looking at the quantum effects that come into play, and other characteristics realized at the nano level, it explains how the properties displayed by nanomaterials can differ from those displayed by single crystals and conventional microstructured, monolithic, or composite materials.
