Summary
Electrochemical Electron Spin Resonance Spectrometer. Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy (ESR), is a technique used to determine the presence of free unpaired electrons in a sample. Detection and life time studies of radical species is critical to understanding the mechanisms involved in chemical reaction, sample degradation, performance upon exposure to light and oxidation or reduction processes. Combining ESR with an electrochemical interface permits in-situ studies on how electrons are inje ....Electrochemical Electron Spin Resonance Spectrometer. Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy (ESR), is a technique used to determine the presence of free unpaired electrons in a sample. Detection and life time studies of radical species is critical to understanding the mechanisms involved in chemical reaction, sample degradation, performance upon exposure to light and oxidation or reduction processes. Combining ESR with an electrochemical interface permits in-situ studies on how electrons are injected or removed from a sample, providing fundamental information on the processes occurring within the sample. Applications will be in the area of electrofunctional materials, complex biomolecular reactions, organic photovoltaics and new materials for nerve cell regeneration.Read moreRead less
Polyaniline Nanofibre Systems. Advanced materials such as the conducting polymer and applications of these materials at the nanoscale and up is clearly a cutting edge area of international interest. Development of readily processable nano systems has been a challenge with a clear scientific and commercial benefit. This proposal will bring linkages to Australia with the world leader in the field, Professor Kaner -UCLA, on the synthesis of polyaniline nanofibres and associated photowelding process ....Polyaniline Nanofibre Systems. Advanced materials such as the conducting polymer and applications of these materials at the nanoscale and up is clearly a cutting edge area of international interest. Development of readily processable nano systems has been a challenge with a clear scientific and commercial benefit. This proposal will bring linkages to Australia with the world leader in the field, Professor Kaner -UCLA, on the synthesis of polyaniline nanofibres and associated photowelding processes. The opportunities to Australia and the USA will be to expand the potential utility of such systems, which without such interactions would permit others to take a stake hold in this emergent and potentially lucrative technology.Read moreRead less

Summary
Electrochemical Atomic Force Microscope and Nano-Manipulation Facility. This new Facility will add the nano-dimension to the excellent electrochemical mapping facility established at the University of Wollongong over the past 2 years. The instrument we propose to install will allow us to probe electrochemical events and, in particular, the influence of these events on the structure of customised materials at the nano level. This new capability will impact on our research into the development o ....Electrochemical Atomic Force Microscope and Nano-Manipulation Facility. This new Facility will add the nano-dimension to the excellent electrochemical mapping facility established at the University of Wollongong over the past 2 years. The instrument we propose to install will allow us to probe electrochemical events and, in particular, the influence of these events on the structure of customised materials at the nano level. This new capability will impact on our research into the development of efficient artificial muscles, biosensors, corrosion protection coatings, polymeric photovoltaics and new surfaces for mammalian cell culturing.Read moreRead less
