Guidelines for choosing an appropriate turbulence model when simulating blood flows in cardiovascular devices

Simpson B.A.F., Tansley G.D., Griffith University, AU

A systematic and detailed comparative study of computational results with validating experimental data has helped define the turbulence models that are most appropriate for predicting the velocity fields and shear forces in blood flows. The [...]

230 fold fluorescence enhancement by 3D Rhodamine B coated polystyrene photonic crystals

Eftekhari E., Li Q., Li X., Cole I.S., Li Q., Li X., Griffith University, AU

We report a 230-fold fluorescence enhancement with fluorescent polystyrene based three-dimensional (3D) colloidal photonic crystals (F-CPhCs) that can be readily fabricated over large areas. A simple and reproducible method was developed to synthesise novel fluorescent [...]

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 [...]

The Effect of Lamination on Printed Silver Tracks for Plastic Circuits

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

To combat the global e-waste crisis, there is an urgent need to develop a technology where environmental pollution from electronics, their manufacturing and product end of life is minimized through recycling and re-use. Circuits in [...]
