  Image-Based Methods for the Dynamics of Ceramic Interfaces in Ballistic Armour Applications
University of Southampton Engineering & The Environment
  Research Group: Materials and Surface Engineering
  Prof F Pierron
Application Deadline: 1 February 2019
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) Defence and Security PhD scheme has a current focus on ‘Novel Materials for Defence’. As part of this program, interfaces between armour ceramics and polymers/metals have been identified as key to improving the performance of ballistic armour for military personnel and vehicles.

  Super alumina: oxide nanocomposites for armour
University of Oxford Department of Materials
  Prof R I Todd, Prof P Nellist
Application Deadline: 25 January 2019
Supervisors. Professor Richard Todd, Professor Peter Nellist, Dr Antonio Pellegrino. The project aims to improve the ballistic properties of alumina without significantly increasing its cost (a more expensive alumina would not compete with SiC and B4C).
