Determining the Nano-Structure of Ordered Amphiphile Self-Assembly Materials with Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy (PALS)

为了在未来保持国际竞争力，许多澳大利亚制造企业将需要开发纳米空间。这些含有纳米结构材料的先进产品制造商将依赖于复杂的表征技术，以保持竞争优势。该项目将使澳大利亚处于正电子湮灭寿命光谱（PALS）技术应用于有序纳米结构两亲自组装材料的前沿。澳大利亚的研究生和博士后也将在分子自组装材料的创造和表征方面接受培训，这些材料是纳米技术自下而上方法的基础。

To remain internationally competitive in the future many Australian manufacturing enterprises will need to exploit nano-space. These manufacturers of advanced products containing nano-structured materials will be reliant on sophisticated characterisation techniques in order to maintain a competitive edge. This project will place Australia at the forefront of the application of one such technique, Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy (PALS), to ordered nano-structured amphiphile self-assembly materials. Australian post-graduate students and post-doctoral fellows will also be trained in the creation and characterisation of molecular self-assembly materials which underpin the bottom-up approach in nanotechnology.
