Dendritic Organic Semiconductors. This Federation Fellowship, along with the creation of a Centre for Organic Semiconductor Research at The University of Queensland will enable Australian science to have a high profile in organic semiconductors. This is an important scientific and technological goal and the research programme will provide expertise for industry in Australia as well as potentially creating technologies for new industry. It will also provide a focus for other academic institutions ....Dendritic Organic Semiconductors. This Federation Fellowship, along with the creation of a Centre for Organic Semiconductor Research at The University of Queensland will enable Australian science to have a high profile in organic semiconductors. This is an important scientific and technological goal and the research programme will provide expertise for industry in Australia as well as potentially creating technologies for new industry. It will also provide a focus for other academic institutions in Australia by bringing together people with the requisite expertise in materials preparation, characterisation, modelling, photophysics, and device physics and engineering.

Summary
High Pressure Chemistry Facility. High pressure is a mild, clean and high yielding method of promoting a variety of important chemical reactions. This proposal seeks equipment to conduct such reactions on a pilot and large scale or in large numbers (high-pressure combinatorial chemistry). This equipment would be unique in the Southern Hemsiphere and, together with existing infrastructure, creates an Australian centre in high pressure, liquid - phase chemistry. It would support research programm ....High Pressure Chemistry Facility. High pressure is a mild, clean and high yielding method of promoting a variety of important chemical reactions. This proposal seeks equipment to conduct such reactions on a pilot and large scale or in large numbers (high-pressure combinatorial chemistry). This equipment would be unique in the Southern Hemsiphere and, together with existing infrastructure, creates an Australian centre in high pressure, liquid - phase chemistry. It would support research programmes aimed at developing new materials for microelectronic components and new compounds for high through-put drug discovery and insecticide discovery programmes.Read moreRead less
