Manufacturing Nanostructured Metallic Materials via 3D Printed Polymers

该项目旨在开发能够快速生产具有可调物理和化学特性的纳米结构聚合物和金属材料的添加剂制造工艺。该项目希望开发新的知识和化学工艺，允许合理设计应用于催化、储能和化学分离的功能材料。预期的结果包括更节能和对环境无害的功能材料合成方法，以及增加对纳米结构材料结构-性能-性能关系的理解。这应该会给澳大利亚带来好处，因为它为能源、健康和水中使用的材料提供了具有成本效益的路线。

This project aims to develop additive manufacturing processes capable of rapidly producing nanostructured polymer and metallic materials with tuneable physical and chemical properties. This project expects to develop new knowledge and chemical processes, allowing the rational design of functional materials with applications in catalysis, energy storage, and chemical separations. Expected outcomes include more energy efficient and environmentally benign methods for functional materials synthesis, and increased understanding of structure-property-performance relationships in nanostructured materials. This should provide benefits to Australia by providing cost-effective routes for materials used in energy, health, and water.
