Multidisciplinary 'Environmental' Field Emission Gun Scanning Electron Microscope

目前的建议是一个高分辨率的电子显微镜用于开发新材料的汽车，纺织和生物医学部门。新一代汽车材料将更轻，更耐碰撞。新的纺织品将通过其导电性能在提供温暖和凉爽方面发挥“积极作用”。它们还将提供增强的动态保护，防止身体伤害。该设施将支持由金属和聚合物制成的新细胞支架的开发。这些支架将用于组织生长和工程。该设施还将用于支持迪肯大学的区域合作者。

The present proposal is for a high resolution electron microscope for use in the development of new materials for the automotive, textile and bio-medical sectors. The new generation of automotive materials will be lighter and more crash resistant. New textiles will be 'active' in providing warmth and cooling through their conducting properties. They will also provide enhanced dynamic protection against physical harm. The facility will support the development of new cellular scaffolds made from metals and polymers. These scaffolds will be used for tissue growth and engineering. The facility will also be used to support Deakin University's regional collaborators.
