The aim of this CRP is to develop radiation-driven nanofabrication process for value-added products and to provide structural and functional parameters for the nanofabrication. This CRP will attain the control of key parameters in radiation processing, such as radiation-induced chemical reactions, template effect on metal ions reduction, structural parameters such as size, shape and composition of nanomaterials, distribution of anchoring points and surface properties in radiation-grafted materials, and also address some specific issues mainly related to methodological and technological aspects, as well as include deeper exploitation of recent advances in swift heavy ions (SHI) irradiation and the emerging concept of nano-processing. The objectives for this CRP are: To develop processes, techniques, protocols for radiation-driven nanofabrication for value-added products To investigate key factors behind scientific challenges in radiation processing, such as structural and functional parameters, methodological and technological aspects To endeavour in transfer of research result to end-users To establish and develop the network of collaboration in the field of radiation-driven nanofabrication

Impact
The field of nanotechnology represents a convergence of nanoscale science, engineering, and technology, drawing upon diverse disciplines such as chemistry, biology, physics, materials science, engineering, and processing technologies. This interdisciplinary approach has propelled advancements in imaging techniques, metrology, modelling, and the practical manipulation of matter within the nanoscale range of 1 to 100 nanometres. Moreover, radiation processing has emerged as a pivotal method within the realm of nanotechnology, offering unique opportunities for tailoring nanomaterials through both bottom-up synthetic strategies, such as the formation of metal nanoparticles and nanogels, and top-down approaches, as seen in the application of track-etch membranes.
Relevance
Radiation technology utilizing high-energy ionizing radiation has garnered recognition as an energy-efficient method, finding widespread application in biomedical and industrial sectors. Within this context, radiation processing of materials stands out as a valuable technique for enhancing material properties and synthesizing new materials through radiation chemical reactions. As the field of nanotechnology continues to rapidly evolve, driven by the convergence of electronics, physics, chemistry, biology, and material sciences, radiation plays an increasingly integral role in nanoscale engineering and the development of functional systems. The burgeoning applications of nanomaterials and nanoscale engineering across various domains underscore the importance of sharing updated knowledge and supporting Member States in harnessing radiation for the synthesis, modification, and characterization of nanomaterials.
