The Institute of NanoMaterials and NanoTechnology (INMT) has been established at Hong Kong University of Science & Technology (HKUST). The HK$100M INMT was established with government and industry support to achieve critical mid-stream R&D and technology transfers relevant to the economic growth of Hong Kong. INMT already has succeeded in transforming nanotechnology into reality with the creation of nanocatalysts to improve indoor air quality. Capable of de-contaminating pollutants like carbon monoxide and organic compounds at low temperatures, the nanocatalysts can be integrated into air conditioners and de-humidifiers at low cost. Other potential products and processes in the pipeline include eco-friendly micro-fuel cells, nano-electronic displays and integrated manufacturing technologies.
