The University of North Carolina General Administration has awarded six three-year grants for nearly $9 million in support of game-changing faculty research. Faculty in the College of Engineering are the lead or a partner for four of the six grants awarded.
Creating large amounts of polymer nanofibers dispersed in liquid is a challenge that has vexed researchers for years. But engineers and researchers at North Carolina State University and one of its start-up companies have now reported a method that can produce unprecedented amounts of polymer nanofibers.
Researchers have fine-tuned a technique for coating gold nanorods with silica shells, allowing engineers to create large quantities of the nanorods and giving them more control over the thickness of the shell.
