| Description | Development of novel synthesis approac using CHFS to produce a large num,ber of samples never before attempted using the synthesis method in order to compile a large library and acssociated set of data with respect to their compsoition and electromagnetic absorbance properties. Developed screening, development and improvement method to cater to a rapid materials discovery method, a novel system developed taking large sets of samples down to one lead sample with improved characteristics. Defined potential application areas for the electromagnetic characteristics observed in the synthesised nanoparticles for application specific development. Structural property relationship investigated in depth and trends highlighted, work ongoing as many factors at play. Coating of nano particles using novel methods in order to tailor electromagnetic responses for certain applications, a considerable task which required many steps to arrange allowing increased performance at certain frequencies. Scale-up of delivered material from low grams to 100s allowing further application based testing of materials in larger setups. |

| Description | Knowledge relating to the synthesis of new materials via CHFS used to tailor materials and have led to work within the funding body regarding coating of nano particles as well as application techniques. Understanding used to develop an economic case for the scale up and development of materials with respect to their becoming a product in the future with further development. Successful areas of interest to be taken forward twards a continuation PhD. |
