The Australian's energy, mining, metallurgical and food industries spearhead the advancement of technologies in the global competitive market. They are the locomotive of Australian economy's strength. Future progress of these industries will be largely driven by advances in materials and food processing technology. The installation of the proposed facility will add a new dimension to high-level research performance and significantly enhance the capability for characterization of various forms of materials, foods and biomedical components in Australia. The continual development of advanced materials and food processing technology will potentially provide a sustainable means for meeting the increasing global challenge for the industries.Read moreRead less
Plasma processes for optimising the performance of surfaces for biomedical applications. Australia faces a number of pressing problems in health care, including an aging population, environmental damage control and national security, which can be addressed, in part, by effectively interface synthetic materials surfaces with biological systems. Examples of technologies relying on such functional interfaces include implantable medical devices and prostheses, enzymatic conversion of chemicals and w ....Plasma processes for optimising the performance of surfaces for biomedical applications. Australia faces a number of pressing problems in health care, including an aging population, environmental damage control and national security, which can be addressed, in part, by effectively interface synthetic materials surfaces with biological systems. Examples of technologies relying on such functional interfaces include implantable medical devices and prostheses, enzymatic conversion of chemicals and waste, as well as diagnostic arrays and biosensors. The new understanding of fundamental surface properties driving these interactions, together with the new surface modification processes developed in this project, will drive new technologies in these important areas.Read moreRead less
