KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER (continued)
- Multi-nanometre patterning of carbon electrodes.
- Bio-sensing using nano-tubes for cell biology and micro-biology.
- Nano-coatings for growing structured stem-cell surfaces for their
therapeutic uses and predictable cellular responses.
- Photo-catalysis for water purification, CO2 and metal recovery, killing
bacteria, prions and bugs.
- Nano-technology in tissue engineering
Some of the R&D and technology activities targeted for exploitation
from Queen's University Belfast are:
- Nano-structured surfaces for Terra-bit per sq inch data-recording media.
- Nano-optics for reading Terra-bit per sq inch data.
- Nano-scale CMOS and bonding nano-films on SiGe wafers.
- Nano-ferroelectrics for FRAMs.
- Nano-clays / polymers for novel material properties - strength,
fire resistance, thermal insulation etc.
- Nano-tubes with polymers and plastics for novel electronic components.
- Nano-tubes for targeted drug delivery.
