Australian Rheo-Scattering Facilities

拟议的研究将极大地扩展对具有复杂且有价值的微观结构的流体的研究：这包括食品、粘合剂、药品，甚至血液。澳大利亚主要的 X 射线和核设施每天都能提供对有价值和奇异材料结构的惊人见解，但大多数测量都是在静态样本上进行的。由于流动和混合对于开发新材料的工业和先进研究过程至关重要，因此需要一种设施，可以通过添加受控流动来对材料结构进行同样仔细的研究。我们将建造这样的设施，使研究能够研究高速、拉伸和其他复杂的流动，匹配应用过程，并使澳大利亚在研究中处于领先地位。

The proposed research will greatly expand research into fluids with complex and valuable microstructures: this includes foods, adhesives, pharmaceuticals, and even blood. Key Australian X-ray and Nuclear facilities provide amazing insights into valuable and exotic material structures every day, but most of these measurements are on static samples. Because flow and mixing is critical to industry and advanced research processes that develop new materials, a facility is needed that allows the same careful study of material structure with the addition of controlled flow. We will build such facilities, enabling study of high-speed, stretching, and other complex flows, matching applied processes and giving Australia the lead in their study.
