Sulphate sensor for reverse osmosis integrity and performance monitoring. This project aims to investigate new chemical sensors for sulphate for online reverse osmosis integrity and performance monitoring at an advanced water recycling plant. Wastewater re-use is increasingly important in Australia and worldwide for providing potable water. Demonstrating the integrity and performance of treatment technologies is needed to meet health regulations. Sulphate and other surrogates of biological entities enable a rapid, on-line approach to integrity and performance monitoring, but detection with available analytical chemical technology is not feasible. This research is expected to enable better management of water treatment processes and demonstrate compliance to health standards.Read moreRead less
Anomalous Structural Response in Porous Framework Materials. This project targets a key missing link in understanding the host-guest properties of porous framework materials, namely, the dynamic response of host lattices to their external environment and to the inclusion of molecular guests. By combining advanced chemical, physical and structural measurements the project expects to provide the first concerted picture of materials behaviour across an array of scientific and technological settings ....Anomalous Structural Response in Porous Framework Materials. This project targets a key missing link in understanding the host-guest properties of porous framework materials, namely, the dynamic response of host lattices to their external environment and to the inclusion of molecular guests. By combining advanced chemical, physical and structural measurements the project expects to provide the first concerted picture of materials behaviour across an array of scientific and technological settings, with particular focus given to industrially relevant ‘real world’ conditions. This promises to greatly inform the on-going chemical design, formulation and process engineering of these materials, in turn accelerating their development in gas separation, energy storage and device componentry applications.Read moreRead less

Summary
An X-ray scattering facility for bulk and interfacial nanostructure. This project aims to establish an integrated, three-beamline facility for small- and wide-angle x-ray scattering (SWAXS) investigations of nanostructured materials in the bulk phase and at surfaces, focussed on soft and self-assembled materials such as polymers, biomaterials and molecular gels. This facility will act as a node for researchers in and around Sydney, providing research tools and training in small-angle scattering. ....An X-ray scattering facility for bulk and interfacial nanostructure. This project aims to establish an integrated, three-beamline facility for small- and wide-angle x-ray scattering (SWAXS) investigations of nanostructured materials in the bulk phase and at surfaces, focussed on soft and self-assembled materials such as polymers, biomaterials and molecular gels. This facility will act as a node for researchers in and around Sydney, providing research tools and training in small-angle scattering. It will provide cutting-edge research tools and advanced training in small-angle scattering. It is expected to yield important science in its own right, and enable researchers to more effectively use beamlines at Australian and international major research facilities.Read moreRead less
