Funded Activity Summary

A Focussed Ion Beam-Scanning Electron Microscope for Advanced Analytical and Nanotechnology Research in South East Queensland. The minerals industry underpins Australia's current economic prosperity. The aging of the population presents major economic challenges in the delivery of cost effective health services. New nanotechnology-enabled industries will contribute to future national economic and environmental well-being. The research enhanced by this facility impacts all these areas. It will improve mineral extraction and processing, enhance fundamental understanding of cellular interactions with textured surfaces, and lead to improved implantable material designs and improved implantable device lifetimes (eg hip and knee replacements). Development of advanced nanotechnology applications in energy, optoelectronics and sensors will be also be extended.
