Materials of the Future is available through the following program types. Select a program type to view more information.

On-Site at Quantum Victoria

Students investigate the properties of Nanomaterials and Nanofluids and interrogate their fundamental principles.

Students use scientific methodology to synthesise nanoparticles and to test the properties of hydrophobic materials. They also explore the properties and uses of Shape Memory Alloy Nitinol in real-world scenarios. 

An online module reinforcing the concepts studied during the onsite program, is available for your students to complete.

Due to limited specialised equipment, we can only accommodate one class (up to 25 students) per day for this program.
