Funded Activity Summary

Experimental and theoretical study of the formation of nanomaterials under reduced gravity conditions. This work will investigate the formation of nanomaterials and model this process to provide the skills to develop better nanocomposite materials. A better understanding of the process and the effect gravity has on it provides better control of this industrially significant process allowing enhanced process optimisation and product design. The results are directly relevant to many organisations currently studying nanomaterials. The work provides important results in a frontier technologies which will help the building and transforming of Australian industries with applications in energy conversion, water purification, quantum semi-conductors, optical materials, films for material separation and fuel cells.
