Tyre Particulate Emissions Measurement and Prediction (Ref: AAE-JK-2513)

Loughborough University

Department of Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering

Tyres are a leading source of microplastics globally, as well as a primary contributor to cars' particulate matter emissions. Minimising the impacts of future tyre emissions requires new knowledge about factors that influence tyre emissions, and how these can be balanced with safety factors such as tyre grip. Read more
