Computational Design of Inhibited Primers

Cole I.S., Sapper E., Chu C., Breedon M., Chen F., CSIRO, AU

This paper reports on the development of computational design of inhibited primers. It is based on a platform that links models from the molecular scale to the engineered object scale ( airplanes). The platform stores [...]

Pelletized silica and polyethyleneimine composites for CO2 capture via adsorption

Knowles G.P., Chaffee A.L., Monash University, AU

Amine adsorbent powders are of broad interest to facilitate CO2 capture towards reducing atmospheric greenhouse gas. It is recognized, however, that industrial adsorption processes require pelletized rather than powdered adsorbents. Mesoporous silica and branched polyethyleneimine [...]

Single-Layer Ceramic Capacitors with low dielectric loss

Liu Y., Withers R., Radford N., Australain National University, AU

ANU researchers have developed a new giant dielectric constant material with good thermal stability and low dielectric loss. This novel material has application in electrical energy storage for electric vehicles, renewable energy and power grids, [...]

Single-crystalline 3C-SiC thin-film on large Si substrate for photonic applications

Massoubre D., Wang L., Chai J., Walker G., Hold L., Lobino M., Dimitriev S., Iacopi A., Griffith University, AU

We present our recent progress in the hetero-epitaxial growth of single-crystalline cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC) on large silicon (Si) wafer and its use for photonic applications. Single-crystalline 3C-SiC thin-film on Si opens new opportunities to [...]

Life Cycle Analysis of Plastics in Southeast Queensland – Recycled Plastics versus Bio plastics in Electronics

Neeli M., Okine M., Thiel D.V., Griffith University, AU

Electronics and electronic products are increasingly becoming part of life. However electronic product manufacturing involves a number of energy and chemical process steps. Energy use in material extraction for electronic products, chemical use, product manufacturing [...]

Three-dimensional panel configurations to reduce wind load and increase passive convection cooling of photovoltaic surface on solar tracking systems

Edgar R., Cochard S., Stachurski Z., Australian National University, AU

For photovoltaic power systems there is a new class of three-dimensional panel arrangements better adapted to strong wind conditions than contiguous plates of equivalent frontal. These arrangements are unique in having overlapping layers of non-overlapping [...]
