Granulation of hydrophobic powders: design and control of granule structure. This unique project will further enhance Australia's established world-class excellence in granulation research, and will assist in setting up a new school of excellence in granulation at Monash University. The innovative use of normally problematic material properties to produce 'designer granules' is a clear example of a 'Frontier Technologies' that can be used to develop 'Advanced Materials' for the next generation o ....Granulation of hydrophobic powders: design and control of granule structure. This unique project will further enhance Australia's established world-class excellence in granulation research, and will assist in setting up a new school of excellence in granulation at Monash University. The innovative use of normally problematic material properties to produce 'designer granules' is a clear example of a 'Frontier Technologies' that can be used to develop 'Advanced Materials' for the next generation of agricultural, food and pharmaceutical industries, particularly for delivery of hydrophobic drugs. The innovative ideas presented in this proposal are expected to provide multiple opportunities for collaboration with national and international research institutions and pharmaceutical companies.

Jet breakup of emulsions for the production of designer microparticulate drug delivery systems. Drug delivery systems are an important and growing part of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology market. The growth is estimated to be at 23% p.a. and is tied to the requirements for more precise and complex delivery profiles by highly potent drugs or vaccines (bioactives). To achieve the required level of control and precision, improved encapsulation technologies are needed to produce particles of a p ....Jet breakup of emulsions for the production of designer microparticulate drug delivery systems. Drug delivery systems are an important and growing part of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology market. The growth is estimated to be at 23% p.a. and is tied to the requirements for more precise and complex delivery profiles by highly potent drugs or vaccines (bioactives). To achieve the required level of control and precision, improved encapsulation technologies are needed to produce particles of a precise size and narrow size distribution. This project aims to develop an innovative technology for the production of superior uniformly sized particulate drug delivery systems for the delivery of the "next generation" bioactives.Read moreRead less

Funder
Australian Research Council
Funding Amount
$197,000.00
Summary
Fine and Ultrafine Particle - Characterisation and Research Facility. The proposed grant aims to establish an integrated facility for characterising and researching fine and ultrafine particles. It will serve various research groups of three collaborating universities. Current facilities are limited to characterisation of liquid-borne particles down to 10 nm size. To extend the groups research interests into aerosols and nanoparticles the facilities requested in this grant are essential.

The proposed grant aims to establish an integrated facility for characterising and researching fine and ultrafine particles. It will serve various research groups of three collaborating universities. Current facilities are limited to characterisation of liquid-borne particles down to 10 nm size. To extend the groups research interests into aerosols and nanoparticles the facilities requested in this grant are essential. Equipment critical for research into catalytic processes is also requested. Integration of the groups will create a force that institutions and industries,nation-wide, can turn to when the need for competent analytical and research solutions for particles and catalysis arises.Read moreRead less
