Particulate Characterisation for Pharmaceutical and Engineering Applications

该提案的目的是在悉尼大学、莫纳什大学和新南威尔士大学之间建立联合设施，用于表征药物气雾剂和工业粉末的表面特性和粒度。这些知识对于控制气雾剂的产生和药物颗粒向肺部的递送是重要的。这将对制药行业和需要气雾剂治疗的患者具有显著的益处。 此外，拟议的设施将加强对复杂颗粒工艺和建模、功能纳米材料和软传感器开发的研究，从而使澳大利亚在各种高附加值颗粒领域的粉末研究方面保持领先地位。

The aim of this proposal is to establish joint facilities between the University of Sydney, Monash University and UNSW for the characterization of surface properties and particle sizes of pharmaceutical aerosols and industrial powders. Such knowledge is important for controlling aerosol production and delivery of drug particles to the lungs. This will have a significant benefit to the pharmaceutical industry and patients requiring aerosol treatment. Further, the proposed facilities will enhance research in complex particulate processes and modelling, functional nanomaterials, and soft sensor development, thus keeping Australia at the forefront of powder research into various high value adding particulate areas.
