Fundamentals and applications of dynamic interfacial forces in soft matter

该计划将为在纳米尺度上对软物质的基本理解做出国际上重大的贡献。这直接影响到从功能性食品制造到矿物回收再到药物配方等一系列澳大利亚行业的关键流程，在这些行业中，创新的解决方案可以大大提高生产率，增加出口潜力并减少对环境的影响。这项工作的成果，以高影响力的论文和会议报告的形式，将建立和提高澳大利亚作为纳米技术和胶体科学的世界领导者的声誉。

The proposed program will make an internationally significant contribution to the fundamental understanding of soft matter on the nanoscale. This has a direct impact upon processes that are key to a wide range of Australian industries ranging from the manufacture of functional foods to minerals recovery to pharmaceutical formulation, where innovative solutions can substantially improve productivity, increase export potential and reduce environmental impact. The outcomes of this work, in the form of high impact papers and conference presentations, will build and enhance Australia's reputation as a world leader in nanotechnology and colloid science.
