Nanotechnology Research – Directory

The Department, the first of its kind in Iran, was set up in March 2003 in a brand new building to concentrate the research on all aspects of computational nano-science, and to help promote the fields of nano-science and nano-technology across the country.

Work in IPPI's 14 research departments include: Composite and adhesives, polyurethane, fibers and nano-polymers, Novel Drug Delivery System, Polymer Science, Polymeric biomaterials, process modeling and control, polymerization engineering, polymerization catalyst, gas conversion, engineering design and construction, petrochemical synthesis.

(website in Farsi) This network concentrates on providing the researchers and the active industries in nanotechnology in Iran with laboratory services and covers the most of technical fields including engineering, medicine, basic science, agriculture, nano-biotechnology, etc.

The Nanotechnology Research Center (NRC) of RIPI was established in 2006 after five years of activity as nanotechnolgy committee. The center provides a framework to ensure the RIPI leadership in nanotechnology that will be essential to improve the petroleum industry. The center's research focus is on carbon nanotubes, nanocomposites, nanocatalysts, nanoparticles, nanocoatings and their applications in the petroleum industry.

Founded in 2005 INN intends to be the hub of Nanotechnology in the country and has the mission of promoting Nanotechnology in the university and in the country by providing a network of researchers from various disciplines and supporting activities that are related to Nanotechnology.
