This Project aims to address the need for precise and scalable nanoscale fabrication by establishing a synchrotron-based X-Ray Nanolithography Facility. This Project expects to generate new knowledge in the areas of advanced manufacturing and nanotechnology using an innovative approach that combines coherent lithography and coherent imaging metrology. Expected outcomes of this project include an internationally unique, nationally accessible capability for manufacturing at the nanoscale and for industry-driven collaborative research. This should provide significant benefits across fields that aim to harness the unique properties of engineered nanomaterials to greatly enhance the technologies required to solve global challenges.Read moreRead less
Controlling nano-carbon complexity and function. The project aims to develop versatile continuous flow thin film microfluidic device technology incorporating different external fields, including innovative magnetic or electric fields coupled with pulsed lasers, for gaining access to novel nano-carbon material for which current methods are ineffective or of limited utility. The technology will allow exquisite control, with real time monitoring, on reforming of carbon into functional material with ....Controlling nano-carbon complexity and function. The project aims to develop versatile continuous flow thin film microfluidic device technology incorporating different external fields, including innovative magnetic or electric fields coupled with pulsed lasers, for gaining access to novel nano-carbon material for which current methods are ineffective or of limited utility. The technology will allow exquisite control, with real time monitoring, on reforming of carbon into functional material with tunable properties, along with the self assembly of nano-carbon, and fabricating composites of nano-carbon material. Understanding their fundamental properties including photoluminescence will be targeted, for leveraging the properties in applications to generate new processes and products.

This project aims to develop continuous flow thin film microfluidic device technology to gain access to nano-carbon material or carbon nano-material. This project will exploit high shear stress in dynamic thin films, field effects, including Faraday waves, plasma, magnetic, laser and LED irradiation. The technology is expected to allow both scalable ‘top down’ synthesis of graphene scrolls, laterally slicing carbon nanotubes and composites of different types of carbon, and ‘bottom up’ synthesis of nano-carbon from natural saccharides. By incorporating sustainability metrics including scalability, renewable feed-stocks and minimising waste, this research is expected to be attractive to industry and minimise the effect on the environment.Read moreRead less
