Utilization of fly ash in manufacturing polypropylene composites: a fundamental study

火力发电厂产生了大量的粉煤灰，但只有很少的粉煤灰得到了应用，这在澳大利亚和世界范围内造成了重大的经济和环境问题。该项目旨在开发利用粉煤灰制造聚合物复合材料的技术，特别是通过各种先进的表征和模拟技术来探索其潜在的基本原理。预期的结果可能会导致环境可持续和大量使用粉煤灰，并带来新的商机。这与拟议的研究培训一起，对发展更具竞争力的澳大利亚作出了有益的贡献。

A large amount of coal fly ash is generated from thermal power stations and only a small amount has found applications, causing a significant economic and environmental problem in Australia and worldwide. This project aims to develop techniques to use fly ash in the manufacture of polymer composite and, in particular, explore the underlying fundamentals by means of various advanced characterization and simulation techniques. The expected outcomes may lead to an environmentally sustainable and large quantity use of fly ash and bring about new business opportunities. This, together with the proposed research training, represents a useful contribution to the development of a more competitive Australia.
