Nano-engineered materials

Development of smart materials
Positioning as key leader for future adaptive and smart materials in the area of functional polymers and adaptive polymer materials.

Limitations in the physical properties of existing materials represent a major barrier to the next generation of technological advances. Our researchers work at the nexus of physics, chemistry and engineering to design advanced nanoscale materials with unique and highly valuable properties. Such ongoing advances in polymer chemistry and functional nanomaterials have positioned AIBN as a key leader in the development of future smart materials.

UQ research keeps batteries going and going

Published on: 29 March 2022

Flat batteries could be a thing of the past thanks to lithium-ion battery nanotechnology developed by UQ. Professor Lianzhou Wang and his team from have demonstrated a battery that remains stable for more than 1000 charge/discharge cycles.
