Formation and stability of polymerically stabilized colloids

该项目将带来经济，医疗和环境效益，改善产品性能和制造工艺，用于与澳大利亚大量就业的大型工业部门相关的日常工业产品：油墨和油漆（例如，可以更快地涂覆而不会堵塞喷嘴的表面涂层）;防止工业膜结垢的更好方法;以及用于生物医学应用的改进材料，在活细胞和体液之间具有更理想的相互作用。这些进步还将加速用高质量的水基产品取代溶剂型油漆--这对环境和用户都有害。

This project will bring economic, medical and environmental benefits, with improved product performance and manufacturing processes for everyday industrial items relevant to a large industrial sector with significant employment in Australia: inks and paints (for example, surface coatings that can be applied more rapidly without clogging the jets); better means of preventing the fouling of industrial membranes; and improved materials for biomedical applications, with more desirable interactions between living cells and body fluids. These advances will also speed the replacement of solvent-based lacquer paints - detrimental to both environment and user - with water-based products of high quality.
