Function-driven Synthesis and Assembly of Two-dimensional Metal Nanostructures

该项目主要涉及材料科学和纳米技术，这是澳大利亚国家研究重点的前沿领域之一。该项目的成功完成将导致控制合成，功能组装及其对金属纳米结构的基本理解。研究结果将有助于开发新的纳米材料和应用于光电子学，分子电子学和生物化学传感器系统。它们还可以大大提高对与过程控制有关的颗粒行为的科学认识，并扩大澳大利亚在这些材料研究方面的知识创造力。

The project is fundamentally concerned with material science and nanotechnology, one of the cutting-edge areas in Australia's National Research Priority. Successful completion of the project will result in controlled synthesis, functional assembly and their fundamental understanding of metal nanostructures. The research findings will be useful for developments of new nanomaterials and applications to optoelectronics, molecular electronics and biochemical sensor systems. They can also greatly increase the scientific understanding of particle behaviour in relation to process control, and expand the knowledge creativity of Australia in research in these materials.
