University of Sydney School of Chemistry

The building was designed largely by Archibald Liversidge, Professor of Chemistry and the first Dean of the Faculty of Science.

The current Chemistry Building is notable in architectural history as one of the first structures in Australia with a curtain wall design.

[5] Other areas the group is interested in include batteries, nanoparticles, ionic liquids, biofuels, and nanostructured materials.

[7][8] The Centre of Excellence in Exciton Science is focused on novel materials for the development of low-cost, high efficiency, light-harvesting devices.

However, the DDI is not limited to these areas and its research has contributed to antibiotics,[11] cardiovascular diseases,[12] and other health issues.

Much of the research of the DDI uses facilities made available by Sydney Analytical such as X-ray scattering techniques and various types of spectroscopy, usually for characterisation of new drugs or proteins.

[16] While the KCPC is known for polymers and colloids, it comprises several groups that can specialise in different areas like self-assembly, virus mimics, emulsions, and surfactants.
