Nano Carbon Materials Fabrication Facility

申请的纳米碳材料制造设施将用于支持滑铁卢大学(UW)先进微/纳米设备实验室(AMNDL)的研究计划。目前，该实验室正专注于理解、建模、设计、集成和开发功能微/纳米设备的所有方面。Yeow博士的研究计划主要集中在四个主要方面：(I)开发用于无损检测(NDT)和生物医学成像应用的电容式微机械超声换能器(CMUT)；(Ii)开发用于体内输送辐射束的微型X射线设备；(Iii)开发灵活透明的实时辐射检测剂量计；(Iv)开发使用微电子机械系统(MEMS)的芯片实验室(Lab-on-a-a Chip)，使多个分子诊断系统能够小型化和集成化。所需的设备将通过提供生长碳纳米管、碳纤维和石墨烯的方法来支持上述计划。这些材料将被用作场发射源和传感元件。研究计划的目标是改进或发明新的生物医学仪器。

The nano carbon material fabrication facility requested will be used to support the research programs of the Advanced Micro/NanoDevices Lab (AMNDL) at the University of Waterloo (UW). Currently, the lab is focusing on understanding, modeling, designing, integrating, and developing all aspects of functional micro/nanodevices. Dr. Yeow's research programs are focused on 4 major thrusts: (i) development of Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasound Transducers (CMUTs) for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and biomedical imaging applications; (ii) development of a miniature x-ray device for in vivo delivery radiation beams; (iii) development of a flexible and transparent dosimeter for real-time radiation detection; (iv) development of Lab-on-a-Chip using MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) has enabled the miniaturization and integration of multiple molecular diagnostic systems.The requested equipment will support the aforementioned programs by providing the means to grow carbon nanotubes, carbon fibres, and graphene. These materials will be used as field emission sources, and sensing elements. The goal of the research programs are to improve or invent new biomedical instruments.
