Final Report Summary - MINATRAN (Probing the Micro-Nano Transition: Theoretical and Experimental Foundations, Simulations and Applications)
In concluding, the experimental techniques for studying the nanoscale were used for understanding the interactions between nanomaterials and cells, resulting in the development of nanoparticles for cancer detection in MRI, and also the development of nanostructured polymer blends for heart patches. MINATRAN, therefore, was a highly interdisciplinary project which allowed the use of nanomechanics not only for understanding the mechanical behavior of nanomaterials, but also for developing next generation nanostructured anodes, and heart patches.
