    The main research directions of the Centre of Nanotechnologies are related to the nanomaterials and nanostructures: design, modelling/simulation and technological experiments.
    Centre of Nanotechnologies is partner in national networks: RO-NANOMED (2005-2007), funded by CEEX research programme; NANOTECHNET (2001-2004), BIONANONET (2001-2004), NANOMATFAB (2003-2005) and CENOBITE (centre of research in nanobiotechnologies) (2002-2005), funded by MATNANTECH research programme. Centre of Nanotechnology was the Coordinator of the Consultancy Centre in Nanotechnologies, Nano-structures and Nanomaterials, 3N (2001-2004), MATNANTECH national programme.

    Centre of Nanotechnologies is also involved in international networks:

  • Network of Excellence on Nano-electronics (PHANTOMS) (2002-2004)
  • S-E Europe Regional Network of Excellence Nanosciences and Multifunc-tional Materials (COSENT) (2002-2005)
  • FP6-NoE: Nanostructured and Functional Polymer-Based Materials and Nanocomposites (NANOFUN-POLY) (2004-2008)
    The main areas of expertise of the Centre of Nanotechnologies are: silicon nanoelectrode arrays, porous silicon layers (El, PL and bio-active properties); field emission nanostructures; magnetic nanostructures and microsensors; selective growth of CNT on silicon microetched support; biomedical applications of nano-structures: drug delivery systems, microchips for DNA analyses, bio-chips for diagnosing biological media and for pollution control; development of new materials: silicon carbide and diamond like carbon (DLC) thin layers, nanostructured silicon, nanostructured aluminium nitride (AlN) and PZT thin layers.
