Funded Activity Summary

Integrated approach to self assembled molecular capsules. Process intensification technologies in the form of spinning disc and rotating tube processing are new to Australia and present many opportunities for both carrying out the synthesis of organic compounds and in fabricating nanomaterials. The ensuing nanotechnological applications are more benign in approach then other fabrication techniques, minimising the generation of waste at the same time under continuous flow which is likely to be more attractive to industry. Proposed applications such as drug delivery, catalysis, smart materials and device technology are expected to foster industrial collaborations. The project will provide first-rate research training and promote Australian science through the development of these new technologies.
