Fabrication, Testing and Life Time Prediction of Bio-Based Biodegradable Composites for Aircraft Interior Panels
Although composites provide a great deal of advantages and enhanced characteristics which have driven improvements to their structural and aesthetic applications, there still lie major disadvantages and drawbacks in the recycling of these life limited materials as well as the ecological harm in utilising the petroleum based resins. Read more
Sequence Control in Biodegradable Copolymer Synthesis
Background. Modern society faces a plastic waste crisis, coupled with the urgent need to reduce our dependence on oil and gas. In tandem, the last decade has seen the design of ever ‘smarter’ and more functional materials and global demand for these materials is growing. Read more
Biodegradable composite materials (Bio-PolyMOFs) for applications in targeted delivery of drugs to improve healthcare and reduce antimicrobial resistance in developing countries and worldwide
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
Growing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the major global challenges and is linked to the use of unnecessarily high doses of orally administered antibiotics following medical surgery and infections. Read more
PhD in Chemistry: Structural effects in alternating biodegradable polymers
Dr Alison Paul Dr Alison Paul - People - Cardiff University is looking for a PhD student to join the Soft Matter Research Group for a project on “Structural effects in alternating biodegradable polymers”. Read more
Bioplastic from Sustainable Feedstock - Tackling the Plastic Challenge
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) is a class of polyesters produced by various Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria as carbon and energy storage reserves. Read more
MPhil / PhD Studentship in Eco-friendly, Recyclable and High Performing Nanoparticles Reinforced Natural Fibre Thermoplastic Composite For Rail Applications – Eco-Rail
The UK has set up a statuary target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. In response to this mission, the railway industry continuously seeks to reduce energy consumption and decrease the emission of harmful gasses. Read more
Manufacturing Bio-Based Photoprotective Products with Ionic Liquids
Photoprotective products—designed to prevent light from damaging our skin and eyes—damage the environment by contributing to toxic marine pollution and expending non-renewable resources. Read more
Enhancing the Biotechnological Potential of a Bioplastic Producer Cupriavidus Necator H16 Using a Combination of Adaptive Laboratory Evolution (ALE) and Synthetic Biology Approaches
Plastic, a lightweight, durable, and impact-resistant material, has transformed the way we live and made positive impacts across various economic sectors. Read more
Biopolymers for packaging and membrane applications
Membrane-based separation of gaseous mixtures is recognised as a low-energy and low-carbon alternative to traditional separation techniques. Read more
Developing nanomaterials to enhance and future-proof crop yields
Plants are critical for food security, carbon capture and the production of many of the materials we rely on. Novel ways to enhance plant growth and productivity are being investigated, and one of these is by looking at modifying plants at the nanoscale. Read more
Bioelectronic materials
Biodegradable materials are an ideal starting point for implanting in the body because their removal takes place gradually and naturally over time after the implant has served its useful purpose. Read more
Functional Biopolymer-based Composite Materials
Natural biopolymers such as polysaccharides (e.g. chitin/chitosan, cellulose, starch, and alginate) and proteins are widely available, biodegradable, biocompatible, chemically versatile, and inherently functional and thus have huge potential in developing advanced functional materials. . Read more
Magnetically Controlled Degradable Ingestible Robots for In-body Medical Operations
Background: . Recent advances in microrobot technology have opened up great possibilities for the use of robots in the body. Read more
Transformative Peptide Chemistry for RNA Nanotechnology
