Separation science based on nanoparticle-coated monolithic scaffold stationary phases

拟议的项目将通过开发新的固定相和分离技术来产生非常重要的分离科学的基础进展，这些技术适用于分析非常复杂的样品，而这些样品是当前方法无法解决的。这些技术将广泛应用于具有国家重要性的领域，包括在反恐应用中爆炸前和爆炸后爆炸物的识别；环境、临床和法医分析；能源生产和食品。该项目还将产生非常重要的新知识产权，在全球范围内具有极高的商业潜力，从而为澳大利亚带来可观的直接经济回报。

The proposed project will generate highly significant, fundamental advances in separation science by developing new stationary phases and separation technologies suitable for the analysis of very complex samples which cannot be addressed by current methods. These technologies will be applied in a wide range of areas of national importance including pre-and post-blast identification of explosives in counter-terrorism applications; environmental, clinical, and forensic analysis; energy generation and foods. The project will also lead to very significant new intellectual property having extremely high commercial potential worldwide, and thereby generates the promise of considerable direct financial returns to Australia.
