Integrated Surface Fabrication and Characterisation Laboratory. New electronic devices and materials that exploit the properties of polymers and organic molecules are predicted to have a major impact on everyday life in areas such as photovoltaics, biotechnology and healthcare. The IntLAB facility will provide researchers for the first time with the unique capability of building and characterising complex multi-layered thin films of polymers and organic molecules completely under controlled envi ....Integrated Surface Fabrication and Characterisation Laboratory. New electronic devices and materials that exploit the properties of polymers and organic molecules are predicted to have a major impact on everyday life in areas such as photovoltaics, biotechnology and healthcare. The IntLAB facility will provide researchers for the first time with the unique capability of building and characterising complex multi-layered thin films of polymers and organic molecules completely under controlled environments. The IntLAB represents a major new joint venture between three major Australian Universities, CSIRO and ANSTO and will provide researchers with the essential tools for developing new electronic devices, biosensors, detectors and solar cells based on nanotechnology.Read moreRead less
Polymer Band Gap Engineering. The development of fibre optic communication networks has enabled the provision of low cost long-distance telephony and the dramatic growth of the Internet. This project aims to develop polymeric materials that receive optical signals in the telecommunications (near IR) band. Such a capability would allow RPO to build low cost power monitoring into all its integrated optical devices and would massively enhance its market opportunities and chances of growth.

This project aims to develop polymeric materials that receive optical signals in the telecommunications (near IR) band. Such a capability would allow RPO to build low cost power monitoring into all its integrated optical devices and would massively enhance its market opportunities and chances of growth. Furthermore, this project lays the foundations for the development of an all-polymer optical chip, whose cost savings over the current technological strategies would revolutionise the photonics and information technology sector.Read moreRead less
