Automated fibre braiding facility for multifunctional structural materials:
This project seeks to establish an Australian automated braiding facility to create innovative fibrous materials with multiple functionalities. This facility aims to provide Australian researchers with the capabilities of high-speed, precision and versatility to radially braid single or multiple filament types including carbon, metal, optical, natural, bio-inspired and bio-compatible fibres and filaments to create new materials with unique functional properties. The facility would be able to braid over multiple length scales spanning nanofibres to millimetre-sized filaments to create novel materials and shapes not possible using other processing techniques. Expected applications include new materials for building, self-healing, human protection and biomedicine. Read moreRead less

Summary
The injection of a single sperm into the egg (ICSI) has been the main IVF treatment for men with poor sperm quality since 1993 but is now often used for other types of infertility. Concern has been raised about the health of the children. We will approach >800 parents and their adult sons conceived using ICSI and will assess his general health and development, and fertility. This work will improve patient counselling and practice guidelines, and direct research into the safety of ICSI.
