Professor of Nanotechnology and Materials (First Nigerian Professor of Nanotechnology)

1. A. Inorganic – organic hybrid nanocomposite: Nanocomposites of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) e.g. Composites of POSS with perhydropolysilazane, silicon carbide, polymers (e.g. polyimide, polyvinyl chloride, resins e.t.c)

–          Synthesis, properties and applications of POSS: Using Sol-gel to synthesize novel POSS from monosilanes, hybridize and functionalise them using various reactions. POSS-based Aerogel and Xerogel as seen in one of my papers (Dare et al: Dalton Trans. 3668 – 3671 (2006). POSS applications as photoresist, lithographic, ceramics (SiC, SiOC, special glasses), high temperature electronic, especially by developing low – dielectric mesoporous POSS thin film templated by various surfactants.

Anatomy of POSS nanomaterial

–          Metal – Nanocomposite/Silsesquioxanes: Reaction of incompletely condensed POSS (trisilanol) with transition metals with the hope of studying their catalytic behaviour and light harvesting antennae capability.

–          Dendritic polymers with POSS as core

–          Optical/luminescence/light-harvesting materials based on POSS & Porphrin, Ferrocene, Fullerene C60 in a hybrid system, (an innovative research proposal is available on this topic presently)

1. B. Materials for high temperature devices: Using natural biomaterial/agricultural wastes (Rice husk, wood, saw dust) to develop nanocrystalline SiC, mesoporous silica for nuclear system and high temperature electronic.
2. C. Membrane Technology: Surfactant templated mesoporous/nanoporous water filter system

DNA Nanotechnology / Biosensor: photoluminescent inorganic nanoparticles have been investigated for several bio-applications including as optical biomarkers and biosensors.

1. D. Sensor / Catalysis/ metallic nanoparticles: solid state sensor (hybrid metal oxide) / core shell / nanocapsule
2. E. Solar cell research: I have experience in the design and synthesis of conjugated polymers, dye-sensitised polymers, hybrid polymers for photovoltaic applications.
3. F. Renewable resources: I have been involved in personal, national and international projects whereby we source biodiesel, hydrocarbon fuel, ethanol fuel from renewable biomaterial and biomass.
4. G. Polymerization/living polymerization: As seen in my publication, I have experience in the synthesis of polyofeins and living polymers using metallocene catalysts/MAO
5. H. Equipments/instruments experience: I have used extensively (a) NMR (1H, 13C, 29Si, 31P – NMR), FTIR, MS, EA, DSC, TGA, GPC, XRD, AFM e.t.c. I am very much conversant with Schlenk techniques, dry box and double – fold vacuum-nitrogen line.
