Two dimensional conjugated polymers: a new class of functional nanomaterials. New technologies depend on the design and development of novel materials. This project will synthesise a new class of materials, namely two dimensional conjugated polymers, which have enormous potential for creating new technologies, for example in electronics and sensing.

Summary
Advanced surface imaging and spectroscopy facility: Scanning auger nanoprobe. Understanding advanced materials and nano-fabricated devices on the nanometre scale is essential for innovation in the manufacturing, healthcare, pharmaceutical, energy and mining sectors. The next generation Scanning Auger Nanoprobe will support research rated well-above world standard and dramatically increase national surface analytical capacity.
Directional fluid-transfer in thin porous materials with gradient wettability through thickness. This project will further strengthen Australia's world leading position in advanced fibrous materials research. It will provide a new platform technology to develop self-driven unidirectional fluid-transfer fabrics and porous membranes for diverse applications in daily life, healthcare, defence and a number of industrial processes.
