In the Advanced Materials Research group at Monash we work on preparation , characterisation , and modelling of polymer nanocomposites for different applications . Our research projects include :
1 . Natural Mineral Nanotubes such as Halloysite filler , carrier , and substrates .
2 . Electrospun nanofibrous membranes for water filtration applications and bone regeneration .
3 . Biopolymer active bionanocomposites for food packaging applications .
4 . Smart and self-healing polymer composites .
5 . Advanced materials for built environment such as selfhealing concretes .
|
6 . 3D printing of polymer nanocomposites for various applications , from self-healing to isolation of bacteria .
7 . Aliphatic and aromatic polyurea composites for coating and protective applications .
8 . Smart superelastomers for E-skin applications .
9 . Hydrophobic polymeric films for fuel cell applications .
10 . Applications of carbon fibres , carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers .

The difficulty in carrying out experimental studies in vivo has resulted in mathematical and computational modelling techniques becoming viable options for the understanding of various biophysical and physiological phenomena . We are currently collaborating with ophthalmologists from Malaya University to explore the link between the hydrodynamics and biomechanics of the human eye to further understand the mechanics of glaucoma .
We are also working closely with the National Cancer Institute and University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus to develop

a computational platform for predicting the outcome following thermal ablation treatment of cancer . The platform can facilitate doctors with the planning of treatment protocol in order to produce the best possible outcome for the treatment . Our research studies are funded by the Ministry of Higher Education ( MOHE ) and the Ministry of Science , Technology and Innovation ( MOSTI ), Malaysia . |
