Welcome
to the nanomaterials laboratory at Our
group moved from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI)
after ten years there as a key player in nanomaterials and
nanotechnology
applications. At RPI we were largely focused on carbon nanotube
research. Here
at Rice, we will focus on the materials science and engineering aspects
of
several technologies that will impact our society in the future. Energy
generation and storage, chemical sensors, nanoelectronics, flexible
displays,
high performance composites, membrane technologies, coatings, and
medical
technologies are some of the areas we will broadly cover. With several
collaborations at Rice and outside we are involved in a
multi-disciplinary team
effort with the goal of developing functional nanomaterials for a rich
variety
of applications. We
are committed to changing the world through discoveries and development
of new materials. Our efforts begin where the imaginative mind meets
the
experienced. We are excited about what future technology can offer
society. We want to be leading players in this endeavor. Thank
you for visiting us, Cheers, P. M. Ajayan |
