Deakin’s Institute for Frontier Materials

Anti-viral textile technology, developed by Australian materials technology company Xefco, with support from Deakin’s Institute for Frontier Materials (IFM), will be used by HeiQ Materials AG to produce medical-grade face masks. The masks will incorporate new patent-pending technology, called MetalliX, invented by Xefco and further tested and refined with help from IFM researchers. Independent studies … Continue reading Deakin partners launch new medical-grade face mask →

Scientists from Deakin’s Institute for Frontier Materials (IFM) has partnered with researchers from Northern Ireland and Japan to pioneer a highly thermal conductive and chemically stable material to help combat overheating issues in mobile devices. Dr Luhua Li, IFM researcher, and Dr Qiran Cai, Alfred Deakin postdoctoral research fellow, says heat management has become more … Continue reading Deakin University breakthrough tackles overheating phones →
