PhD in 'Experimental Investigation of various polymer films used for polymer laminated or coated steel packaging products'
Research Group:
Materials and Manufacturing
Project Overview. Tata Steel is one of Europe’s leading steel producers, with steelmaking in the UK and the Netherlands, and manufacturing plants across Europe. Read more
Direct numerical simulation of polymeric-fluid flows
Polymers and turbulence are two of the most difficult problems in statistical physics. In the past, the study of polymeric liquids was divided in two categories. Read more
Wrapping virus-like particles in polymer films using protein-carbohydrate interactions
Research Group:
School of Chemistry
Polymer films are widely used as barriers to protect objects from their environments or improve their performance.? What if tiny nano- or micron-sized objects could also be wrapped in thin layers of polymer films? Would they also gain benefits from their inclusion in wrappers in the same ways as macroscopic objects do? These questions lead to tantalising possibilities. Read more
Polymer thin film preparation and optical modelling for infrared reflectometry, AFM-IR and infrared ellipsometry

Bioinspired theranostic probes based on conjugated polymer nanoparticles
Theranostics is a recently-emerged research field which explores the possibility of combining diagnosis and therapy of a patient into a single treatment, minimising the time taken between the two processes and therefore leading to better outcomes and significantly reduced side effects. Read more
Cold-Chain Stable Protein/Polymer Therapeutic Conjugates
By value, the largest segment of the pharmaceutical market is protein biologics, which includes antibody as well as gene therapies and vaccines. Read more
Next-Generation Hydrogen Production Using Polymer Nanotemplates
Hydrogen vehicles are already on the road, and most ICE vehicles can combust hydrogen with simple alterations. The byproduct of combustion is water vapour, making hydrogen one of the most sustainable fuels available. Read more
Surface analysis of layered polymer brushes
One of the most exciting new features on our recently installed state-of-the-art XPS spectrometer is the capacity for depth-profiling of delicate organic polymeric materials. Read more
