Next generation manufacturing of sustainable composite materials using internal forced convection processing (S3.5-MAC-Maguire)
Challenge . Composites play an important role in lowering carbon emissions by lightweighting components and structures in several industries. Read more
Unlocking Next-Generation Solar Cells: Integrating Novel Non-Fullerene Acceptors with Metal Halide Perovskites
Solar cells are a cornerstone of the pursuit of sustainable energy. To make solar power more efficient and affordable, we need new materials and innovative designs. 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
Sustainable Polymer Futures: Accelerated discovery platforms for next generation polymer-additives (C4-CMB-Warren)
The application of digital technologies is transforming the discovery and manufacturing process within small-molecule chemistry. However, the polymer materials community is yet to embrace these technologies and still relies on laborious laboratory techniques for polymer discovery and development. Read more
Development of new electrolyser porous architectures for advancing green hydrogen production (S3.5-CMB-Johnstone-Hack)
Electrolysers are a key technology for the clean energy transition, which produce ‘green’ hydrogen by splitting water using electricity from renewable sources. Read more
A state-of-the art mechanically controlled bilayer membrane for periodontal regeneration
Project details: . Periodontitis presents a significant challenge in dentistry, often leading to tooth loss due to irreversible damage to the supportive soft and hard tissues surrounding teeth. 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
Future lifing of titanium hip joints: Creating digital twins of microstructure and fatigue life from the subtractive machining force response following emerging additive manufacturing techniques (C4-CMB-Jackson)
Considering actual trends regarding life expectancy, it is forecast that the total number of hip replacements will increase in the next few decades due to an increasingly ageing population. Read more
Development of novel bio-derived fire-safe composites with recycled polymers in the transport industries (S3.5-MAC-McLaggan)
The automotive and rail industries are transitioning towards more sustainable materials with a strong focus on natural fibre composites. Read more
A versatile tumour-on-a-chip platform for studying tumour cell metastasis and angiogenesis (S3.5-SMP-Bryant)
Studying metastasis and angiogenesis is essential for developing effective cancer treatments. Metastasis, the process by which cancer cells spread from the primary tumour to other parts of the body, is responsible for the majority of cancer-related deaths. Read more
Manufacturing process simulation for high-performance discontinuous fibre composites (C3.5-MAC-Qian)
Project details. There has been growing interest in applications of compression moulded high-performance discontinuous fibre composites (DFCs) across many industries such as automotive, aerospace and space. Read more
Developing innovative, anti-infective peptide-coated calcium phosphate particles for the treatment and prevention of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) (C3.5-DEN-Miller)
Patients taking bisphosphonates (BPs), a widely used class of drugs for treating osteoporosis and bone cancer, are at an increased risk of developing MRONJ, following oral surgical procedures (i.e., extractions) and spontaneously. Read more
Biofabrication approaches for the development of smart multifunctional biomaterials for corneal healing
Project details. Corneal disease affects millions worldwide, especially in developing countries where it's more common. While treatments like corneal transplantation and the use of membranes such as the amniotic membrane (AM) have shown promise, AM is expensive and not always available. Read more
EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing
Compound Semiconductor (CS) materials are a Key Enabling Technology at the heart of modern society. Read more
Energy recovery from waste through advanced gasification technology
Gasification is an advanced thermal treatment technology that converts carbon containing materials into syngas for downstream use, e.g. Read more
