High performance chromatography based on nanostructured monolithic polymers

拟议的项目将通过开发新的固定相和分离技术来推动分离科学取得重大的根本性进展，这些固定相和分离技术适用于目前方法无法处理的非常复杂的样品的分析。这些技术将广泛应用于具有国家重要性的广泛领域，包括药物分析和药物发现；环境、临床和法医分析；能源生产和食品。该项目还将在全球范围内产生非常重要的、具有极高商业潜力的新知识产权，从而为澳大利亚带来可观的直接经济回报。

The proposed project will generate highly significant, fundamental advances in separation science by developing new stationary phases and separation technologies suitable for the analysis of very complex samples which cannot be addressed by current methods. These technologies will be applied in a wide range of areas of national importance including pharmaceutical analysis and drug discovery; environmental, clinical, and forensic analysis; energy generation and foods. The project will also lead to very significant new intellectual property having extremely high commercial potential worldwide, and thereby generates the promise of considerable direct financial returns to Australia.
