The research will investigate how the structure and composition of nanomaterials affects the properties in industrial applications for radiation absorbers (RFID security taggants, stealth coatings for wind turbines etc). These nanomaterials will be synthesised using UCL's continuous hydrothermal flow reactors. The nanomaterials will be designed with specific compositions and surface coatings in order to affect their properties in the desired applications. The work will be principally experimental, involving synthesis and the use of key analytical methods for inorganic materials and importantly to measure the relevant magnetic and dielectric properties that will allow some view as to their likely performance for radiation absorbers in the future. The lead materials that are obtained will be scaled up and then tested as coatings with support from the industry partner.
