Polyaniline Nanofibre Systems

先进的材料，如导电聚合物和这些材料在纳米级及以上的应用显然是一个国际感兴趣的前沿领域。易于加工的纳米系统的开发一直是一个挑战，具有明显的科学和商业利益。该提案将使澳大利亚与该领域的世界领导者Kaner -UCLA教授就聚苯胺纳米纤维的合成和相关的光焊接工艺建立联系。澳大利亚和美国的机会将是扩大这种系统的潜在效用，如果没有这种相互作用，其他国家将能够在这种新兴的、潜在的有利可图的技术中占有一席之地。

Advanced materials such as the conducting polymer and applications of these materials at the nanoscale and up is clearly a cutting edge area of international interest. Development of readily processable nano systems has been a challenge with a clear scientific and commercial benefit. This proposal will bring linkages to Australia with the world leader in the field, Professor Kaner -UCLA, on the synthesis of polyaniline nanofibres and associated photowelding processes. The opportunities to Australia and the USA will be to expand the potential utility of such systems, which without such interactions would permit others to take a stake hold in this emergent and potentially lucrative technology.
