Ice Binding Proteins (IBPs) help extremophiles survive in the worlds coldest environments, but are also used by microorganisms to damage hosts by promoting ice formation. Read more
Extremophiles have evolved to survive in the world’s coldest environments, through the production of specialised macromolecules, such as antifreeze proteins and ‘ice nucleating proteins. Read more
Technical paints provide essential corrosion protection to our infrastructure, which is vital to ensure public safety and drive down the unacceptable economic and carbon cost associated with the replacement of metals. Read more
Watching paint dry can be fascinating. Painting a room can make it aesthetically pleasing, but paints can do much more than just please the eyes. Read more
Block copolymers (BCPs) have potential in applications ranging from drug delivery to sensing or functional coatings due to their ability to form a wide range of controlled self-assembled nanostructures in solution. Read more
We have recently shown that skin secretions in particular sebum, has a critical diagnostic role in other diseases unrelated directly to the skin. Read more
Lead halide perovskites have shown tremendous promise as materials for novel photovoltaics with exceptionally high efficiencies and low cost manufacture, but their application is limited due to the inherent stability of the materials. Read more
We welcome applications from candidates to work with our interdisciplinary and collaborative team on a project on research and development of innovative surface treatments of advanced engineering materials. Read more
Ceramic coatings are vital in high-temperature applications, especially in aero-engines and the power generation industry. These coatings increase the engine’s operating temperature to improve efficiency and reduce the engine’s environmental impact. Read more
A meta-atom is an engineered sub-wavelength structure that, when periodically arranged like an atomic lattice, enable optical, electronic, thermal, and chemical functionalities not seen in conventional designs. Read more
Crevice corrosion involves the breakdown of the protective passive oxide layer on stainless steels, leading to unprotected metal corroding at rapid rates due to the formation of electrical cells coupling the active corroding areas to the oxide covered, or passive areas. Read more
This is a unique and cutting-edge PhD research opportunity in the multidisciplinary field of materials chemistry and electro-catalysis for a student with… Read more
