Exploitation of ‘smart materials’ is a major opportunity for 21st century Australian manufacturing if cost effective bulk production is available. Metamaterials are ideal building blocks for such new-age materials, being dielectric/metal composites structured on sub-wavelength dimensions, offering diverse properties unavailable in natural materials. Fibre drawing is a proven mass-production technology for translating the structure of a (macroscale) preform to microscale and has recently been applied it to fabricate microscale metamaterials. By overcoming fundamental instabilities, this project will transform the technique to manufacture nanoscale structured composites and demonstrate practical metamaterial-based optical devices with unique properties.

如果能够实现具有成本效益的大规模生产，开发“智能材料”将是21世纪澳大利亚制造业的一个重大机遇。超材料是这种新时代材料的理想构建块，是亚波长结构的介电/金属复合材料，具有天然材料无法提供的各种性能。纤维拉伸是一种将(宏观)预制件的结构转化为微米级结构的大规模生产技术，最近已被应用于制备微米级超材料。通过克服基本的不稳定性，该项目将转变制造纳米结构复合材料的技术，并展示具有独特性能的实用超材料光学器件。
