Dr De Volder’s research focuses on the fabrication of structures and assemblies of new carbon nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene. These nanoparticles have been pivotal in attracting industry’s interest in nanotechnology. This can best be quantified by the production capacity of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) which is currently estimated to be several thousand tons per year. In part, the success of these nanomaterials can be attributed to their physical properties, some of which are unlike any other engineering material. Assets of CNTs and graphene include a stiffness and tensile strength far superior to steel at only a fraction of its weight, combined with unique thermal and electrical properties.
Importantly, these off-the-chart properties only apply to high quality individual tubes or sheets. Most commercial applications on the other hand require tens to millions of nanoparticles to be assembled into one device. Unfortunately, figures of merit of such assemblies drop with at least an order of magnitude in comparison to the constituent nanoparticles. At this juncture, it is therefore mandatory to expand our knowledge about the structuring and organization of nanomaterials.
