3D printed microchemical devices and systems. This project aims to address the barriers faced by 3D printing in chemistry. 3D printing can create bespoke 3D structures within a fraction of time and cost compared to traditional fabrication. However, its scope in chemistry has been limited by the poor chemical robustness, biotoxicity and low resolution of the 3D printed components. Hence, this project will develop novel gold coating techniques and explore high-resolution 3D printing to overcome th ....3D printed microchemical devices and systems. This project aims to address the barriers faced by 3D printing in chemistry. 3D printing can create bespoke 3D structures within a fraction of time and cost compared to traditional fabrication. However, its scope in chemistry has been limited by the poor chemical robustness, biotoxicity and low resolution of the 3D printed components. Hence, this project will develop novel gold coating techniques and explore high-resolution 3D printing to overcome these challenges. The project should generate commercially significant products (analytical platforms), technology (gold coating) and patents. The developed systems and technologies will address Australian research challenges in advanced manufacturing and enable on-site environmental monitoring.Read moreRead less

Chip liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry: a new hyphenated microfluidic instrument for metallomics. An alliance of two Australian universities and a world-leading scientific instrument company will develop innovative technology that will enable new reliable, sensitive and patient-specific medical tests, as well as being used to probe causes of significant diseases that appear to involve trace levels of metals in the body.
Micro-disperse sintered nano-diamonds: a new class of versatile adsorbent for high performance liquid chromatography. Nano-diamond is currently recognised amongst researchers as a highly significant material for the development of new technologies in analytical science, diagnostics and nano-technology. Here, sintered nano-diamond, with its many unique properties, will provide a new generation of stationary phases for use in high performance liquid chromatography.
