This document summarizes research on synthesizing and applying naphthalene diimide (NDI) derivatives. It describes methods for synthesizing di-cyano NDI (dcNDI) and di-TMS NDI (dtNDI) and investigating their properties when mixed with electron-rich aromatics. The mixtures showed charge-transfer absorbance extending into the near-infrared range. Crystals formed from the mixtures were also analyzed. The research aims to develop materials for applications like solar energy by tuning the electronic properties through substitution on the NDI core.
Functionalizing Beta-Cyano Oligo(p-phenylene vinylene) Chromophores for use i...Alex Wink
This study synthesized and characterized a series of eight β-cyano oligo(p-phenylene vinylene) (cyano-OPV) molecules (dyes A-H) with different functional groups (hydrogen, methyl, dimethyl, cyano, fluoro, methoxy) placed on the terminal phenyl rings. The cyano-OPVs were synthesized via Knoevenagel condensation and characterized using NMR, TGA, DSC, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and photoluminescence measurements of the pure solids and solutions. Absorption properties, extinction coefficients, and emission wavelengths were determined to understand how changing the functional groups affects the molecules' ability to relax from an excited electronic
Photonics communication [communication application of nano technology]jayarajchinna
Photonics communication uses nano-sized particles and photonic crystals to route information using light instead of electrical signals. This allows information to be transmitted nearly instantaneously. The document discusses how nano-lasers and photonic band gaps can be used to control and direct photons for optical switching. Nanotechnology enables building devices that manipulate individual photons to route data at speeds approaching the speed of light through fiber optic networks.
Nanotechnology involves manipulating matter at the nanoscale (1-100nm) to utilize size-dependent properties. Global investment in nanotechnology R&D was $40 billion in 2008 and $41 billion in 2010, with expected growth areas including healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and energy. Nanotechnology converges with many disciplines and may impact sectors like health, IT, and energy through applications in areas such as diagnostics, drug delivery, and renewable energy. Realizing nanotechnology's potential will require addressing challenges like health and environmental risks, intellectual property issues, and public acceptance.

Overall the document scopes opportunities for synthetic biology to enhance transparent materials for defense applications.
The document discusses utilizing synthetic biology to develop novel transparent materials for defence applications such as transparent armor. It describes two challenges for a competition: 1) producing and characterizing novel transparent materials, and 2) developing adhesives and interlayer materials compatible with transparent armor. Currently, transparent armor has poor ballistic performance compared to opaque armor and is expensive due to specialized materials and processing required. Synthetic biology may be able to create new transparent composite materials inspired by biology with enhanced properties for armor applications.
The document discusses the limitations of battery power for small autonomous robots and soldiers. While smaller robots are safer and more practical for defense applications, current battery technology only allows for an hour or two of operation, which is not enough. Batteries are also limited in their energy density and unlikely to improve much in the next 10-20 years. The document proposes potential alternative power solutions that could be explored, such as photovoltaic energy capture from flames, novel engine/generator combinations, or single-use power sources that last a day or two before recycling. It concludes that long-endurance power sources for smaller robots present an opportunity for defense applications if technical challenges can be addressed.
The document discusses the limitations of battery power for small autonomous robots and soldiers. While small robots are attractive for defense applications like reconnaissance and patrolling, battery technology cannot provide enough energy density for more than an hour or two of operation. Fuel cells and generators are not feasible options at small scales either. However, the document suggests some potential solutions being explored, such as photovoltaic energy capture from flames, novel engine/generator combinations, or single-use power sources that could operate for a day before recycling. The goal is to develop alternative power sources that would enable the widespread use of smaller autonomous robots in defense applications.
An introduction to the themed competition and an overview of how it would be applied in a military setting. Presentation first shown on 1 December 2016.
Introduction to innovation and network event hosted by the Centre for Defence Enterprise. This presentation outlines CDE's role and signposts the future direction of the project.
