碳纳米管(CNT)和石墨烯等碳纳米材料因其优异的物理、化学和力学性能，在广泛的研究和技术领域呈现出许多新的机遇和挑战。此外，纳米碳与生物聚合物和矿物的化学修饰和组装可以产生生物相容的杂化材料，并赋予特定的生物功能。NSERC的这一发现研究计划旨在创造基于纳米碳和纳米碳-生物杂化材料的先进材料和设备，用于一系列化学和生物医学应用。将结合材料合成、表面化学修饰、物理化学表征、微/纳米制造和3D打印方法。

Carbon nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotube (CNT) and graphene, present lots of new opportunities and challenges in a wide range of research and technology fields due to their extraordinary physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. Further, chemical modification and assembly of nanocarbon with biopolymers and minerals can lead to hybrid materials that are biocompatible and impart specific bio-funtionalities. This NSERC discovery research program aims to create advanced materials and devices based on nanocarbon and nanocarbon-bio hybrids for a range of chemical and biomedical applications. A combination of material synthesis, surface chemical modification, physical chemistry characterization, micro/nanofabrication, and 3D printing approaches will be utilized.
