The Centre for Materials Science delivers cutting-edge pathways for addressing challenges of environmental management, sustainable energy generation, toxicant monitoring, and environmental forensics analysis.
We provide means of detecting and identifying toxicants and bioactive molecules that are economical, efficient, highly sensitive, selective, and field deployable. Our investigators undertake synthesis, fabrication and characterisation of tailor-made nanomaterials and hybrid materials with a focus on sustainability. We develop cost-effective pollutant removal and tracing technologies, as well as recyclable solutions.
