The Victoria node of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Functional Nanomaterials is led by Professor Ying Chen and focuses on the cutting edge nanotechnology research and applications. Our current research covers nanotubes, nanowires, graphene, and nanoporous materials, as well as plasma treatments. With the newly equipped world class facilities, we aim to solve the current challenges in energy storage (battery and supercapacitors), environmental protection, new advanced nanomaterials, and health and medical issues. The following research projects demonstrate our research direction and abilities. We welcome researchers and students to join these forefront research programs.

The thirteenth International Conference on the Science and Application of Nanotubes (NT12) will take place from the 24-29 June 2012 in Brisbane, Australia.
NT12 will continue the NT tradition of presenting the most exciting and current results in the research, development and applications of nanotubes and related materials. It will present a comprehensive program in carbon and non-carbon (eg BN, TiO2, MoS2) nanotubes and graphene in recognition of the burgeoning interest in these inter-related materials. NT12 will feature a single session of invited and contributed talks across five days plus additional symposia which will offer all participants a chance to present their research and an opportunity to discuss current developments in a dynamic, scientific and social environment.
