纳米结构聚合物加工网络将促进对新型纳米结构塑料材料加工的理解和操作。将寻求高科技，在线聚合物加工设备，通过一系列技术，包括原位聚合，纳米复合材料和聚合物共混，实现纳米结构聚合物的设计，这些技术是设计高价值纳米结构聚合物的理想选择，为高性能应用量身定制。该提案中的设备与现有的前沿聚合物表征和分析设备相结合，将为网络提供国际最先进的设备，这将快速跟踪跨站点的综合研究项目的成功。

The Nanostructured Polymer Processing Network will promote the understanding and manipulation of the processing of novel nanostructured plastic materials. High technology, online polymer processing equipment will be sought that will enable the design of nanostructured polymers via a range of techniques including insitu polymerisation, nanocomposites and polymer blending which are ideal for designing high value nanostructured polymers that are tailored for high performance applications. The equipment in this proposal, when combined with existing leading edge polymer characterisation and analysis equipment, will provide a Network with international state-of-the-art equipment that will fast track the success of integrated research projects across the sites.
