You’ll find it in potatoes, bread, and rice, and maybe in a freshly ironed shirt. Now researchers from the AIBN are examining how starch could be a key ingredient in a new generation of bioplastics.
Two exciting AIBN projects have scored new funding to help industry collaborators crack the lucrative computer chip industry and capitalise on opportunities in waste-to-catalyst conversion
Hybrid inorganic-organic materials have important applications in energy, environmental and health technologies. Sequential infiltration synthesis (SIS) of polymers is a recently introduced approach to preparing such hybrid structures.
Cancer is a leading cause of death in both Australia and the world. The use of nanomedicines to efficiently deliver therapeutic agents to tumour tissue represents a promising treatment approach to improving the lives of people diagnosed with cancer.
Sequential infiltration synthesis (SIS) is becoming an important tool for formation of unique nanostructures. SIS is a variant of atomic layer deposition (ALD), in which the organometallic precursors are allowed to diffuse into the polymeric substrate before condensation.
Researchers from the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN) have won $1.5 million to improve precision nanomedicines and create a cleaner environment – all while strengthening industry ties.
