Additional information

This cross-disciplinary collaboration between ATI and Mathematics at Surrey shows that the growth of carbon nanostructures in closed environments follows mathematical symmetry models developed to model structures found in nature (eg. sea shells). This opens the way for materials design and new catalysts and has led to the award of a 2-year Leverhulme Fellowship (Shiozawa) and subsequent staff appointment at Vienna TU. Ongoing work with BAE to apply this understanding to the decoration of CNTs with magnetic nanoparticles.
