Integrated Facility for Interfacial Rheology Analysis

该提案旨在建立一个国家的最先进的设施，界面流变学分析。拟建的设施将是澳大利亚独一无二的，汇集了来自纽卡斯尔大学、墨尔本大学和南澳大学的顶尖研究人员。该设施将允许直接测量流体-液体界面的物理特性，这是泡沫浮选，食品加工和表面活性剂应用正在进行的研究所需的，也是在纳米技术，生物技术和医疗和制药生产的新兴领域开发新工艺所需的。

This proposal seeks to establish a state-of-the-art facility for interfacial rheology analysis. The proposed facility will be unique in Australia and bring together leading researchers from the Universities of Newcastle, Melbourne and South Australia. The facility will allow direct measurements of physical properties at fluid-liquid interfaces which are needed for ongoing research in froth flotation, food processing and surfactant applications as well as to develop new processes in emerging fields of nanotechnology, biotechnology, and medical and pharmaceutical production.
