Professor Martin’s international collaborators include Pennsylvania State University; Purdue University, US; Queen’s University Belfast, UK; Institut national des sciences appliquées de Lyon, France; and the University of Padova, Italy. He also has several materials co-development projects and collaborations with companies such as Cochlear Ltd, Aortech Biomaterials, and several others in North America, Europe and Asia.
Memberships, patents and funding
Professor Martin has been the recipient of three Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Grants and has secured more than $9 million in research and commercialisation funding since 1999. He has two granted patents and two provisional patents in these areas. He is working with Australian regulators such as NICNAS and WorkSafe Australia on policy for nanomaterials/nanocomposites safety and occupational hygiene. Professor Martin is a member of the Engineers Australia Nanoengineering panel and has presented more than 10 keynotes or invited lectures. During the past five years a large proportion of his research funding has been derived from the private sector.

Professor Darren Martin is the Chief Scientific Officer for start-up company TenasiTech Pty Ltd, which is commercialising a polymer nanocomposites platform as applied to large polyurethane, acrylic and other polymer markets.
Co-development partnerships with several companies are rapidly approaching the product specification stage. Applications include elite sporting goods, durable rubber engineering components and building products. Longer-term horizon work also continues on more reliable medical device components.
More recently Professor Martin's team have developed a novel nanocomposite platform totally based on renewable materials.
Professor Martin is working with Australian regulators such as NICNAS and WorkSafe Australia on policy for nanomaterials/nanocomposites safety and occupational hygiene. This activity is critical for the responsible development and translation of new nanomaterials.
