ProjectsAdvanced nanoscale materials engineered from diatomaceous earth Advanced nanoscale materials engineered from diatomaceous earth Published: 16 February 2017 Nature, through evolution has elegantly solved problem of fabrication of complex 3-D structures with well-defined nanoscale features. Diatoms, single cell algae are most extraordinary example of these structures. This research is based on the idea to bring the advantages of these natural materials into new synthetic materials with advanced properties. This project is dedicated to the exploration and development of new nanoscale materials based on diatom silica retrieved from natural diatomaceous earth (DE) for the use in demanding applications such as separations, catalysis and drug delivery. These research outcomes will enhance Australia¿s capacity in frontier technology and advanced materials. Data and resources Other resources collected by the researchers may be available subject to researcher approval. Please contact Prof Jonas Addai-Mensah.
