The PFPC brings together internationally renowned researchers to form one of the world's leading multidisciplinary research centres in interfacial science and engineering. The research programs within the PFPC pioneer understanding of the interactions at the interfaces between particles and the fluids within which they are dispersed.

The Centre strives to ensure that the fundamental science we develop is translated into practice in Australia to support and develop Australian industry.
