Description of field of research:
Nanotechnology, as a discipline to understand the matter at the nanoscale dimension involves the fabrication, manipulation, study of technique, material, modes and use of nano-devices in various applications. Nanomaterial derived from liquid metals are highly sensitive and specific in their nature as compared to bulk liquid metals and able to improve device function; however, their limited compatibility in biological environment is a major obstacle to employ them in the biomedical devices. This project aims to study different surface modification approaches to improve the biocompatibility of liquid metal 2D sheets.
