Nanoparticles can have unique and interesting properties such as optical activity and redox (electronic) behaviour that can be utilised in a number of applications such as drug delivery and cancer hyperthermia treatments, coatings, electronic devices and sensors. The main aims of this research program are to produce novel nanoparticles using an innovative method which uses biological species such as fungi and plant extracts, and to study the growth mechanisms, structure and properties of these nanoparticles. These studies could lead to the discovery of novel nanoparticles with applications in the fields mentioned above. This project also aims to train/educate young Australian graduates in the growing area of advanced materials.

纳米颗粒具有独特而有趣的特性，例如光学活性和氧化还原（电子）行为，可用于多种应用，例如药物输送和癌症热疗、涂层、电子设备和传感器。该研究计划的主要目的是使用真菌和植物提取物等生物物种的创新方法生产新型纳米颗粒，并研究这些纳米颗粒的生长机制、结构和特性。这些研究可能会导致新型纳米粒子的发现，并应用于上述领域。该项目还旨在在不断发展的先进材料领域培训/教育年轻的澳大利亚毕业生。
