Bristol Materials Chemistry

ZnO nanorodsThe Bristol Materials Chemistry group is concerned with the control of nanoscale architectures and properties of nanostructured materials. These themes are not confined to specific sections, and fall within the remit of the University of Bristol's established cross-faculty research themes, such as: templated inorganic materials, including bio-inorganic hybrids, nanoparticles and quantum dots, hybrid and functional materials, bio- and biomimetic materials, crystal engineering, diamond and diamond-like materials (through CVD and pulsed laser ablation), polymers (also synthesis, cataylsis), colloids and interfaces, liquid crystals, surfactants and soft nanostructured materials, peptide-based materials, modelling and chemometrics.

Members of the Centre include: Professor Neil Allan, Professor Mike Ashfold, Professor Richard Brereton, Dr Jonathan Charmant, Dr Fred Claeyssens, Professor Terence Cosgrove, Dr Sean Davis, Professor Julian Eastoe, Dr Charl Faul, Dr Simon Hall, Professor Steve Mann, FRS, Professor Ian Manners, Professor Paul May, Dr Fiona Meldrum, Professor Guy Orpen, Dr Jeroen van Duijneveldt, Professor Brian Vincent, Dr Dominic Walsh, Dr Duncan Wass and Professor Dek Woolfson.
