Grant: Canada 150 Research Chairs
University of Victoria
$1,000,000.00
Canada 150 Research Chair in Materials Science
FY 2021-22
Summary
The ability to create tiny particles with dimensions around 10 – 10,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair with control over their shape, size, and composition, and therefore their properties, is a major global challenge of crucial significance to advances in many future technologies. Professor Manners has pioneered a new method that allows this to be achieved using simple polymer molecules via controlled crystallization in solution. Over the period of the C150 Chair he will develop and expand this approach to enable both fundamental scientific advances and applications in areas such displays, electronics, and biomedicine.
