"Assoc Prof Blakey’s research focusses on the rational design of functional materials and developing novel strategies for controlling their nanostructure, such that the properties can be tailored to improve performance in applications such as biomedical imaging of disease, sensors and manufacture of computer chips"

"In 2014 a number of key advances were made in the development of hybrid nanomaterials that can be used in biomedical imaging of disease and optical sensor applications. The inorganic component of these materials are gold nanoparticles, which have interesting optical properties that differ significantly from the bulk material. These properties can also be tuned by forming clusters. We have shown that we can use smart polymer glues to mediate self-assembly of clusters to enhance the optical properties"

"2014 also saw advances in the development of nanostructured polymers which are designed to improve processes in the manufacturing of computer chips. In particular, we have used a combination of ‘top down’ printing of silicon wafers using light with the ‘bottom up’ self-assembly of nanostructured polymers. Specifically, we have developed polymers and processes that give the ability to print features in silicon that are less than 10 nm- less than 5000 times thinner than a human hair. We have also identified additives that can be blended with the block copolymers that allow the printing of even smaller features and also tuning of nanostructure, which significantly extends the scope of current materials used by the semiconductor industry"
