Research summary
Nanomaterials offer new ways to respond to emerging needs in the energy, environment and health sectors. The opportunity to combine nanomaterials with different properties into nanocomposites is even more exciting, since these may offer improved properties or multiple functionalities that could not be achieved using just a single material.
Dr. Dongling Ma, Canada Research Chair in Advanced Functional Nanocomposites, is working at the forefront of research in advanced nanocomposite materials. She and her research team are synthesizing highly functional nanomaterials for use in important environmental, energy and biomedical applications.
