ARC Research Hub for Functional and Sustainable Fibres

该研究中心旨在通过开发下一代功能纤维材料并在功能性和可持续性之间创造协同效应，扩大澳大利亚在纤维、纺织品和复合材料领域的地位，这两个关键属性迄今是相互排斥的。该中心将把区域和国家经济从传统制造业转变为充满活力的未来纤维导向型先进制造业，以功能性和可持续性为核心原则。预期结果包括行业采用新型纤维材料、加工和回收技术；创造就业机会、显著的环境效益，并将澳大利亚定位在全球向功能性和可持续材料转变的前沿。

This Research Hub aims to expand Australia’s position in fibres, textiles and composites by developing next generation functional fibre materials and creating synergy between functionality and sustainability, two key attributes that have hitherto been mutually exclusive. The Hub will transform regional and national economies from traditional manufacturing to a vibrant future fibre oriented advanced manufacturing sector with functionality and sustainability as central tenets. Expected outcomes include industry adoption of novel fibre-based materials, processing and recycling technologies; creating jobs, significant environmental benefits, and positioning Australia at the front of a global shift towards functional and sustainable materials.
