Materials science/engineering is decidedly interdisciplinary, covering all science and impacting on all manufacturing industry. This network will promote interactions that do not usually occur between materials researchers and students across Australia and internationally from diverse disciplines. The scope is broadly based on advanced materials production, processing and properties but focused in four areas, involving: i) innovative structural/functional materials, ii) high-tech IT/communications/sensing materials, iii) materials solutions for manufacturing, iv) materials for a sustainable Australia, and v) emerging materials technologies. Key programs will promote interdisciplinary workshops and early career researcher interactions.Read moreRead less

Characterising complex materials in 3D is an emerging discipline which is driving design concepts for new materials and assists in understanding properties of real world materials. The ANU/UNSW collaboration has developed an internationally recognized program in this emerging discipline and successfully applied the technology to applications in the oil and gas industry, groundwater remediation, tissue engineering, medical diagnosis of osteoporosis, granular packing and the design of new materials. The present application will give the collaboration the ability to study a larger number of systems and to image the dynamics of materials in 3D. This will significantly broaden the impact and scope of the applications of this new technology.Read moreRead less
