The range of research opportunities facing the Center for Integrative Nanotechnology Sciences and its collaborative partners is truly unlimited. CINS researchers focus on cutting edge research areas ranging from energy; novel materials; anti-icing coatings; anticounterfeit taggants; sensors and antennas; tissue engineering composites; and novel cancer therapies. Some of the major developments include:
- Development of new nanostructural composite materials with applications in sensors, nanoelectronics, and nanocomputing
- Creation of new polymeric nanocomposite materials with reduced surface energy and low friction
- Development of new nanostructural materials for tissue and bone regeneration
- Experiments on new methods to deliver metallic nanoparticles to cancerous tissue and the inducement of apoptosis
- Creation of nanotechnology-based sensors to detect radiation, gases, and explosives, etc.
These achievements are categorized in three synergistic and overlapping research directions:
1. Synthesis and development of highly specialized nanomaterials
2. Micro-Nano Thin Film Deposition
3. Nanomedicine
