Nanoscale Systems and Surface Science

The Nanoscale Systems and Surface Science theme embodies several strong research programs in biological and biologically inspired systems (including pre ocular tear films), encapsulation (particularly of probiotics and other biologically active species), separation science and materials chemistry (including carbon nanotubes and sol gel science and technology). The work is underpinned by a number of strong collaborations with commercial and academic partners (including the ARC Centre for Functional Nanomaterials, of which UWS is a member).
