Current NRC-SIMS Research Projects

1) The design and characterization of novel nano- and microporous materials – applications in energy, environmental and health care (gas storage, gas separation, delivery of drugs and cosmetics, contrast agents).

2) Nanomaterials – the effect of confinement on the physical properties of materials – applications to quantum dots, nanowires, novel forms of drugs.

3) Gas hydrates – characterization of natural gas hydrate recovered from locations around the world; fundamental studies on hydrate formation and accumulation - applications to energy, climate change, geohazards.

4) Technique development – novel methods for the characterization of complex solid materials – multitechnique approaches for the study of structure and dynamics in solids (more).
