Collaborating research institutes, centres and groups

Centre for Flexible Electronics and E-Textiles (C-FLEET)

The Centre for Flexible Electronics and E-Textiles (C-FLEET) is a centre of expertise for flexible smart materials, printed electronics and electronic textile technologies. We work with industry, policy makers, and the general public to address both national and global challenges.

Organic Chemistry, Synthesis, Catalysis

We develop environmentally sustainable approaches to chemical manufacture that minimise chemical waste, improve product velocity and reduce the need to isolate intermediates.

Smart Electronic Materials and Systems

Our interests range from nano-scale biological sensors to complete sensor systems.
