Dr Bronwyn Fox is the senior lecturer at Deakin University for the Centre for Material and Fibre Innovation and remains the leader for the research team. Brownyn’s key research interests consist of: 1. Out-of-Autoclave cure of composites 2. Structure –property relationships in nano-composites and…
"Dr Bronwyn Fox discusses composites for the 21st Century: Bronwyn Fox conveys that composites is that material of the 21st Century, has a huge potential for growth throughout the aerospace industry. "

Deakin University provides its students with a more conventional approach to their studies than the students would otherwise receive at another university. Bronwyn wants to help students grow and get involved with the range of different experiences and opportunities made available to them through studying at Deakin.
In the future Bronwyn wants to see nano modified carbon fibres which will be incorporated into nano composites. The future will also bring the potential for solo fuelling composites.
Deakin University has very strong partnerships with (VCAM)The Victorian Centre for Advanced Materials manufacturers.
Deakin University had an influence announcement about the ‘Australian Future Fibres Research and Innovation Centre’ (AFFRIC). This centre enables Deakin University to make a global input in the area of fibres. This centre will co-locate some of the top researchers and within the substantial facilities provided.
