This proposal seeks to establish a specialized atomic force microscopy facility capable of performing measurements on nanometre scales at soft interfaces. This will service the needs of and collaboration between leading researchers at the Universities of Newcastle, Melbourne, New South Wales and James Cook University. The facility will allow direct measurements of properties of the interactions between atoms, molecules and surfaces associated with soft interfaces which are required for ongoing research in fluid-fluid interfaces, surfactant and polymer adsorbed layers, and biomolecules as well as to develop new processes in emerging fields of nanotechnology, biotechnology, and medical and pharmaceutical production.

该提案旨在建立一个专门的原子力显微镜设施，能够在软界面上进行纳米尺度的测量。这将服务于纽卡斯尔，墨尔本，新南威尔士和詹姆斯库克大学的主要研究人员之间的需求和合作。该设施将允许直接测量与软界面相关的原子，分子和表面之间的相互作用特性，这些软界面是正在进行的流体-流体界面，表面活性剂和聚合物吸附层以及生物分子研究所需的，并且可以在纳米技术，生物技术以及医疗和制药生产的新兴领域开发新工艺。
