Ultraprecision machining in silicon carbide
Silicon carbide is of great importance as a structural ceramic as it is amongst the hardest materials known. Machining silicon carbide parts into the required shape and form for a given application is extremely difficult, yielding unwanted defects. Read more
Next generation hybrid-hybrid machining of critical aerospace parts
The application of laser assisted machining/processing has shown promise in reducing tool wear in the machining of difficult-to-machine aerospace materials, such as, metal matrix composites (MMCs). Read more
Electrocatalytic ammonia synthesis for sustainable agriculture and energy storage applications
A huge amount of nitrogen fixation to ammonia-based fertiliser is required annually to maintain global food supply; it is estimated that artificial fixation accounts for 50% of the terrestrial nitrogen cycle. Read more
Energy Resilience and the Built Environment (ERBE CDT) Loughborough and UCL (UK) and MaREI (IRL)
The ERBE Centre for Doctoral Training provides four-year (FT) PhD training at either Loughborough or UCL. Flexibility and resilience. Read more
A bottom-up approach to muscle mechanics
Muscles exhibit highly complex behaviour made up of thousands of individual muscle fibres, each with different properties, interacting with each other and the surrounding bio-mechanical structures. Read more
Computational modelling of cement-implant and cement-bone fracture in Unicondylar Knee Replacements (UKR)
Loosening is one of the major causes of implant failures, resulting in a lower success rate of joint replacement surgery. However, research conducted on the fracture of the polymer bone cement which holds the implant in place has not been extensive. Read more
A multiscale approach to model the biomechanical behaviour of human skin
The skin consists of sub-layers such as stratum corneum, epidermis with morphological parameters varying spatially. Being viscoelastic (similar to cheese), the skin is also subjected to high loading and environmental conditions every day resulting in skin damages. Read more
3D printing next generations of batteries: alumina-based solid-state electrolyte for electric vehicles
This research is jointly funded by two of the UK's most prestigious academic and research organisations, Loughborough University and the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), and further supported by the Additive Manufacturing Centre of Excellence (AM-COE), and other industrial partners. Read more
3D printing tooth: a new ceramic-polymer composite for dental application
This project is supported by two of the most prestigious academic and research organisations in the UK, namely Loughborough University and the Additive Manufacturing Centre of Excellence (AM-COE). Read more
Additive manufacturing (3D printing) of tools for plastic injection moulding
This project offers a chance to work on a truly disruptive and innovative research project in the high-tech and high-value manufacturing, with very high potential impact in aerospace and energy sectors. Read more
Clean hydrogen production using well defined earth abundant metal-based catalysts
Project details. The global quest for developing pathways to clean, sustainable, energy continues with considerable interest as our current oil reserves dwindle. Read more
