Centre for Particle Characterisation (North Queensland)

这项提议的目的是建立一个最先进的研究设施，作为支持JCU在地质学、海洋学、可持续水研究和纳米技术方面不断扩大的活动所需的全面材料表征基础设施的一部分。测量颗粒、材料密度、孔隙率、比表面积以及碳、氮和硫含量之间吸引力的新仪器，结合取代旧的粒度分析仪，将为具有不同研究重点的几个学院的研究提供先进的仪器。拟议中的设施将为与国内和国际研究人员的合作项目创造新的机会，并促进行业伙伴关系。

The aim of this proposal is to establish a state-of-the-art research facility as part of a comprehensive material characterisation infrastructure required to support JCU's expanding activities in geology, oceanography, sustainable water research and nanotechnology. New instruments to measure attractive forces between particles, material density, porosity, surface area, and carbon, nitrogen, and sulphur content in conjunction with replacing an old grain size analyser will provide advanced instrumentation for research across several Schools with a diversity of research priorities. The proposed facility will create new opportunities for collaborative programs with national and international researchers as well as foster industry partnership.
