The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Renewable fuels and chemicals from fibrous organic waste and non-food crops. At current rates of resource usage, a world population with Australian standards of living would require between four and six planets. Solutions to existing and impending resource scarcity (water, power, chemical feedstocks) and associated greenhouse pollution are required in the short- to medium-term. The new catalysts and processes and their novel integration into an effective refining stream are designed to deliver t ....Renewable fuels and chemicals from fibrous organic waste and non-food crops. At current rates of resource usage, a world population with Australian standards of living would require between four and six planets. Solutions to existing and impending resource scarcity (water, power, chemical feedstocks) and associated greenhouse pollution are required in the short- to medium-term. The new catalysts and processes and their novel integration into an effective refining stream are designed to deliver the required breakthroughs, which will enable the broad adoption of lignocellulosic biomass for a sustainable solution. This is a major opportunity for Australia to address the fossil-fuel conundrum, and to show scientific leadership in an area that is set to drive economic and political change in the 21st century.Read moreRead less
Polymerization of amyloid fibrils and electroactive hybrid nanowires using ionic liquids. The electronics world is constantly shrinking with devices being miniaturised and increasing levels of complexity built in. To maintain this trend, new technologies and new device fabrication approaches are required. APD Byrne, will develop new materials based on amyloid fibrils by their facile conversion to a range of novel high strength electroactive nanoscopic wires with application in many electronic d ....Polymerization of amyloid fibrils and electroactive hybrid nanowires using ionic liquids. The electronics world is constantly shrinking with devices being miniaturised and increasing levels of complexity built in. To maintain this trend, new technologies and new device fabrication approaches are required. APD Byrne, will develop new materials based on amyloid fibrils by their facile conversion to a range of novel high strength electroactive nanoscopic wires with application in many electronic devices. One such device that will benefit from these nanowires is organic solar cells. Solar is a clean renewable energy source that can reduce Australia's dependence on fossil fuels. The development of new approaches and materials aimed at increasing solar cell efficiencies is an important outcome for Australia.Read moreRead less
