Research
Research within the ARC Research Hub for Future Fibres is divided into three Programs:
This program focuses on development of the emerging short fibre and nanofibre industry. Short fibres and nanofibres have very high surface to volume ratio and have found application in diverse areas including high performance filtration, energy generation and storage devices, and tissue engineering scaffolds. Research will include expansion of the range of polymer systems which can be processed, and enabling scale-up of manufacturing platforms. It will also focus on specific applications of these fibres, including as textile treatments and biomedical applications.
