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。该项目旨在将莫纳什纳米仿生学实验室开发的等离子体材料应用于设计高度可伸展的等离子体设备(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对应变做出反应，以及它们如何用于制造新型可伸展设备。这些研究将产生关于可伸缩等离子体的制造、表征和建模的重要新知识，从而有助于澳大利亚在纳米技术和等离子体领域的进一步地位。它还可能孵化可申请专利的技术，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.
