Focus Nanotechnology Africa Inc. (FONAI)

One of the things that is exciting in nanotechnology and picotechnology is its multi-disciplinary nature. Research at inter-face between physical, biological, agricultural, medical and engineering sciences is key to the success of any nanotechnology program. The gathering of scientists across disciplines, institutions and nations to brain-storm a scientific problem is the hallmark of scientific discovery in what is called 'nanobasket'. Functional nanopecochemical synthesis is the engine driving interface science today. Focus Nanotechnology Africa Inc. (FONAI) research include:

1. Organic synthesis: Stereoselective and biochemical synthesis, and small molecule-DNA interaction. 
2. Polymer synthesis: Solution and surface living controlled free radical polymerization: Reversible addition fragmentation and termination-RAFT
3. Nanofilms or thin films: SAMS and Langmuir-Blodgett technique
4. Advanced nanopicochemical:Nanocomposites, carbon nanotubes, nanoskins, nanowires, nanoboats, etc
5. Surface modification
6. Energy: Renewable energy, solar cell synthesis
7. Nanofilters: Electro-spinning
8. Nanodevices: Sensors and molecular recognition
9. Nanomanufacuring: Processes, phenomena, modelling, stimulation and scale-up
10. Nanomedicine,nanobiotechnology and nanoagriculture: Malaria, cancer, tumor, HIV/AID, molecular engineering, diseases detection in plants, etc.
    
11. Initiating nanoscience and nanotechnology in the 84 countries of US, Africa, Caribbean and Pacifics
