The influence of particle characteristics on the field-scale geomechanical behaviour of soils
It is well recognised that many geotechnical phenomena, such as liquefaction, crushing, dissolution effects and failure are affected by macro-scale properties such as initial density, anisotropy, permeability and compressibility, amongst others. Read more
Paper-based emulsion phase separator for low-cost “lab-on-paper” detection of liquid contaminants
Isolated nature of droplets in emulsions, such as milk or sewage water prevents physical access of their contents for analysis of contamination. Read more
