High performance bioderived hybrid fillers for rubber composite

本项目旨在通过从可再生生物质原料中生产和应用高性能生物衍生杂化二氧化硅填料来解决聚合物复合合成中的一个重大问题。该项目预计将在生物精炼、填料和复合材料生产和表征方面使用跨学科方法，在先进制造领域产生新的知识。该项目的预期成果包括一种更具可持续性的填料生产工艺，用于生产性能优于商用二氧化硅填料的新型生物衍生二氧化硅填料。这个项目的成功实施将带动一个新的先进制造业的发展，为澳大利亚地区创造就业机会。

This project aims to address a significant problem in polymer composite synthesis by production and application of high performance bioderived hybrid silica fillers from renewable biomass feedstock. The project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of advanced manufacturing using interdisciplinary approaches in biorefining, filler and composite production and characterization. Expected outcomes of this project include a more sustainable filler production process for producing novel bioderived silica fillers with properties superior to commercial silica fillers. The successful implementation of this project will lead to the development of a new advanced manufacturing industry, creating jobs in regional Australia.
