Image: Marina Belkina (middle) receiving her award at the CHEMECA 2011 conferenceWe are proud to announce that PhD student, Marina Belkina has won the David Trimm Award for the best catalysis student paper entitled “Direct low temperature synthesis of carbon nanotubes on Si/SiO2 substrates without using a metal catalyst” at the CHEMECA 2011 conference.
The paper describes a potentially revolutionary new method for the production of carbon nanotubes (CNTSs) at low temperature without metal catalysts. CNTs are one of the most important emerging nanomaterials and this new synthesis method will potentially be able to assist in solving a number of key manufacturing problems.
Marina’s work forms part of a project being conducted under the supervision of Associate Professor Kamali Kannangara and Dr Adriyan Milev. The Carbon Nanotubes project has recently undergone a provisional patent application and we are currently seeking to engage commercial partners to:
- Promote licensing of the patented technology or;
- Engage in collaborative R&D to further develop the technology.
