Next-generation earth-abundant cathodes for sodium-ion batteries based on Na2Fe2F7 weberite
Broader context. The transition to a greener economy has seen a significant increase in demand for batteries to meet our needs in electric vehicles and grid-scale energy storage. Read more
Continuous Manufacture of Materials for Energy Storage
Manufacturing high performance batteries is a key requirement to address the pressing challenges of climate change. Battery technology is critical in enabling electric vehicles and storing renewable energy. Read more
Development of Understanding of the effects of Laser Cladding on Novel Iron- Based Hardfacing Materials
Nuclear power plants are complex engineering structures with a multitude of different components required to make them operate. One area that rarely hits the headlines, but it fundamental to the operation of the plant, is tribological components such as valves and pumps. Read more
Novel materials for ankle ligament repair
Chronic ankle instability affects about 30% of patients who have experienced a severe ankle sprain. Around 60% of these will have degeneration of the ankle and develop osteoarthritis - a debilitating condition. Read more

Hydrogels for Bioelectronic Interfaces
Hydrogels are a well-known biomimetic material and will be familiar to those using 3D bioprinting to encapsulate cells in tissue-like constructs. Read more
Functionally Graded Materials (FGM): New Configurations and Designs
This investigation will focus on the relatively novel field of FGM. FGMs can be the answer to many problems associated to classical materials. Read more
Computational Fluid Dynamics modelling of free surface flows over packing materials in a CO2 absorber
Power generation from fossil fuels still plays a central role in meeting our energy demand today and for the foreseeable future. They are at present the largest stationary sources of carbon dioxide emission. Read more
A Melt-Electrospun Cardiac Patch for Regeneration of the Myocardium following Myocardial Infarction using Natural and Sustainable Polymers
The aim of this project is to produce a cardiac patch capable of supporting and regenerating the myocardium following myocardial infarction (MI) using melt electrospinning writing (MEW) of Poly(3-hydroxyoctanoate- co-3-hydroxydecanoate), P(3HO-co-3HD), and alginate (MEW-PHA-Alg), two natural, sustainable and highly biocompatible polymers.
