Development of a novel and practical method for fabricating carbon nanotube reinforced polymer composites for automotive applications. An effective, economical and environmentally friendly technology will be developed by this project to fabricate carbon nanotube reinforced polymer composites. The thus obtained products will be applied as automotive parts.
Application of microfluidics in engineering functional noble metal nano-materials. High value added nano-materials based on precious metals from gold refining will be developed using continuous flow microfluidic platforms in parallel, in partnership with the Perth Mint (WA Mint). The scalable products will be assessed for application in devices and sensor technology, and as a catalysis for the fine chemical industry.
