Australia faces a number of pressing problems in health care, including an aging population, environmental damage control and national security, which can be addressed, in part, by effectively interface synthetic materials surfaces with biological systems. Examples of technologies relying on such functional interfaces include implantable medical devices and prostheses, enzymatic conversion of chemicals and waste, as well as diagnostic arrays and biosensors. The new understanding of fundamental surface properties driving these interactions, together with the new surface modification processes developed in this project, will drive new technologies in these important areas.

澳大利亚在医疗保健方面面临着一些紧迫的问题，包括人口老龄化、环境损害控制和国家安全，这些问题可以通过将合成材料表面与生物系统有效地结合起来来解决。依赖于这种功能界面的技术的例子包括植入式医疗设备和假体、化学品和废物的酶转化以及诊断阵列和生物传感器。对驱动这些相互作用的基本表面特性的新理解，以及该项目中开发的新表面改性工艺，将推动这些重要领域的新技术。
