- Description
- The Ultra-high Resolution 3D printing facility for making micron-sized structures and voids aims to positionAustralia as leader in prototyping and manufacturing of microfluidic devices. The facility will support research in material science and microfluidic design and manufacturing and will support applications of microfluidics in analytical chemistry, biomedical microdevices and energy. The proposed facility bridges a critical gap between manufacturing for laboratory research and manufacturing for commercialisation. The expected outcomes include advanced materials and enhanced capacity in microfluidic design and prototyping, providing research training and skills to underpin global leadership in the manufacturing of microfluidic devices.

- Description
- This project sets out to tackle one of the costliest and most challenging environmental problems, namely, nutrientpollution in water systems. At present, nutrient pollutant monitoring is predominantly carried out using anantiquated manual approach with numerous shortcomings, inadequate to achieve truly effective water qualitymanagement. The in-situ analyser developed and deployed within this project will provide continuous real-timeobservations and will allow users to remotely monitor water quality; alerting them to pollutant levels, enablingimmediate action to be taken to prevent environmental damage. The system is low-cost, facilitating mass adoption, yet delivers an analytical performance comparable to leading laboratory analysers.

- Description
- The toughest analytical science challenges typically require advanced analytical technologies to acquire the desired solutions. In the field of separation science this inevitably involves hyphenated separation technologies, specifically the combination of chromatography and mass spectrometry. Advancing this technology to its full capability requires the collaborative strength of academic, industry and end-user partnerships, providing the materials and inspiration for young researchers to apply novel hyphenated methods to complex environmental and industrial systems. This Centre will deliver fundamental developments in hyphenated technologies, new analytical capability, and applied outcomes across multiple end-user groups and interests.

- Description
- This project aims to address the barriers faced by 3D printing in chemistry. 3D printing can create bespoke 3Dstructures within a fraction of time and cost compared to traditional fabrication. However, its scope in chemistryhas been limited by the poor chemical robustness, biotoxicity and low resolution of the 3D printed components.Hence, this project will develop novel gold coating techniques and explore high-resolution 3D printing to overcomethese challenges. The project should generate commercially significant products (analytical platforms), technology(gold coating) and patents. The developed systems and technologies will address Australian research challengesin advanced manufacturing and enable on-site environmental monitoring.

- Description
- This project aims to explore the fundamentals of 3D printing glass and multi-level porosity structures. 3D printing of plastics and metals fails to realise low-cost, robust, transparent, and biocompatible devices. The advent of glass and ceramic 3D printing can overcome these limitations. Moreover, multi-level porosity structures are becoming vital to the advancement of various fields, such as energy, health, and environmental. Expected outcomes of the project would include the development of more sustainable glass and ceramic manufacturing procedure and new high-performance multi-level porosity devices. The project should provide significant benefits by addressing four science and research priorities of Australia.
