Overview

Programme description

Nano and functional materials covers the development and study of novel nanomaterials and their assembly into multi-functional structures and devices for their application in key technological areas.

A research degree from the department and the University is held in the highest esteem and recognised worldwide. Many of the graduates in the Nano and Functional Materials programme at The University of Manchester work in the most prestigious institutions and organisations throughout the world. Much of the department's research has a significant impact on society and commerce; such as the development of new welding techniques enabling more fuel-effecient jet engines, and a new class of high performance, low density magnesium alloys to improve performance and reduce fuel consumption in the aerospace and automotive industries.

The department provides first-class opportunities and facilities for our students to study specific subjects in-depth to a postgraduate research degree level.

Programme Structure

Our activities include scalable routes towards graphene and related 2D materials, surface engineering and functionalization, 3D printing with 2D materials, study of interface interactions in nanomaterials, and high-resolution electron microscopy and spectroscopy.

Other activities include nanostructured materials for regenerative medicine, aerogels and 3D assemblies for energy applications, multifunctional composites for aerospace, energy and biomedical applications, and graphene biosensors, nanoelectromechanical sensors.

We also focus on bio-inspired and bio-enabled multifunctional materials, as well as thermal and thermoelectric properties of 2D materials.
