Professor Gordon Wallace, Director of IPRI explains how researchers at the at the University of Wollongong and research partners at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Electromaterials Science are working with electromaterials at the nano level to address important medical challenges. This includes new biologically driven structures that can power the new generation of “smarter” bionic implants. The video uses animation to explain complex ideas. >View video on line
Troy Lowe, a PhD student at IPRI, talks about fabricating micro-sized pH sensitive electrodes made from Iridium and using these to detect local pH changes near the surface of zinc and zinc alloy. This work is part of a larger project to understand corrosion mechanisms of metal coatings.>Audio file (13.6MB MP3 file)
Alberto J. Granero, a PhD student from IPRI talks on elastic conducting rubber-carbon nanotubes fibres/strings/composites. The aim of his project is to produce conducting strings or fibres that are biocompatible in order to be used in medical applications, for example implanting artificial body parts like muscles. >Audio file (6.6MB MP3 file)
Dr. Simon Moulton from the Intelligent Polymer Research Institute (IPRI) recently gave a seminar on his QEII Project "Strategies towards in-vivo Targeted Drug Delivery for Epilepsy Control". For enquiries regarding his research please contact the IPRI on (02) 42213127. >Audio File (13.1MB MP3 file)
Professor Gordon Wallace speaks about research being carried out at the Intelligent Polymer Research Institute, located in the AIIM Facility at the University's Innovation Campus. >Multimedia slideshow 2.45min
Professor Gordon Wallace, Director of IPRI talks about Nanotechnology >View video (5.33MB .wmv / 3:10 mins) "Being involved in the medical applications of nanotechnology is like a dream. Working with people like Professor Clark who developed the Bionic Ear, using nanotechnology to look at new challenges in bionics and how we can make nano materials to solve those things like spinal chord regeneration.
