Porous materials made from anodised alumina or silicon feature arrays of nanoscale pores with well-controlled size, density and orientation. We use these materials for a variety of applications including chemo- and biosensors, tissue engineering scaffolds, drug delivery systems, template synthesis and molecular separation.
