Soft Plasmene Nanosheets for Stretchable Plasmonic Skins

传统的等离子体传感器和设备是刚性的、平面的并且不可拉伸。该项目旨在应用莫纳什纳米仿生学实验室开发的等离子体材料来设计高度可拉伸的等离子体设备（人造等离子体皮肤）。将进行系统的实验和理论研究，以了解等离子体皮肤如何响应应变，以及它们如何用于制造新型可拉伸设备。这些研究将产生重要的新知识的制造，表征和建模的可拉伸plasmene，因此，有助于进一步澳大利亚在纳米技术和等离子体领域的地位。它还可以孵化可获得专利的技术，带来潜在的经济收益。

Conventional plasmonic sensors and devices are rigid, planar, and not stretchable. This project aims to apply plasmene materials developed at Monash's Nanobionics lab to design highly stretchable plasmonic devices (artificial plasmonic skins). Systematic experimental and theoretical studies will be undertaken to understand how the plasmonic skins respond to strains and how they can be used for fabricating novel stretchable devices. Such studies will generate important new knowledge of fabrication, characterisation, and modelling of stretchable plasmene, hence, contributing to further Australian standing in the field of nanotechnology and plasmonics. It may also incubate patentable technologies, bringing potential economic gains.
