用于先进涂料配方的聚合物纳米纤维。在价值720亿美元的建筑行业中，表面涂料密封、加固和装饰了大部分表面。尽管它们很重要，但涂料科学的进步只是渐进式的，真正坚固耐用和防水的涂料尚未开发出来。Dulux Group Australia和悉尼大学将使用聚合物纳米纤维作为添加剂，从根本上重新设计建筑涂料，目标是大幅提高其耐久性。该伙伴关系将带来一项技术突破，从而减少对环境的破坏，并为澳大利亚带来重要的经济和技术利益。

Polymer nanofibres for advanced paint formulations. Surface coatings seal, strengthen, and decorate the majority of surfaces in the building industry—a $72 billion market. Despite their importance, advances in paint science have only been incremental and a truly robust and water resistant paint coating has yet to be developed. Dulux Group Australia and the University of Sydney will use polymer nanofibres as additives to radically redesign architectural coatings, with the goal to drastically increase their durability. The partnership will bring a technological breakthrough that will lead to less disruption for the environment, and important economic and technological benefits for Australia.
