MDI researchers are also investigating new materials and new approaches to existing materials which have a wide range of potential applications including flat-panel displays, which will permit surgeons to have full view data in the operating theatre. Some Specific Examples of On-going MDI Projects One of the important characteristics of the contributions of the GIT MDI researchers is syntheses of materials with specific functions and properties. In the field of nanostructured materials, several potential technological applications will benefit from the results of these studies. Charge separation of electrons and holes is involved in technologies as diverse as solar energy conversion, detoxification, imaging, sensors and optoelectronics. Semiconductor nanoparticles are very tunable sources for charge separation processes.
Research is also focused on the magnetic properties of electronic material.
Magnetic properties of nanoparticles are used in reusable magnetic recording media, in coating and tracking of mobile objects, and in tagging biomolecules for unique modes of structure determination. M. Rezac's work is focused on the use of polymeric materials for producing membrane structures for selective separation of gases, liquids and slurries.
