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
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
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
Digitally enabled development of sustainable metamaterials to create circular alternatives to current unsustainable parts widely used in industry
Manufacturing causes ~20% of global carbon emissions and ~50% of energy use [e.g. 1]. The UK’s third climate change risk assessment [2] suggests the climate crisis has caused irreversible damage. Read more
Engineering an in vitro human embryo implantation platform to study pathologies arising in early pregnancy (S3.5-SMP-Lucas)
Embryo implantation is the step in early pregnancy where the founding tissue of the placenta from the embryo, called the trophoblast, establishes a physical connection with the mother at the inner lining of the uterus, called the endometrium. 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
Sending in the messenger: novel nanotechnology-based delivery methods for advanced cancer therapeutics (S3.5-DEN-Murdoch)
The incidence of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has risen by 60% in the last decade in the UK. Current treatment involves surgery followed by radiotherapy, intravenous chemotherapy, and/or immunotherapy, with the latter having profound off-target toxicity and limited success rate. Read more
Development of Conductive Electrospun Materials for Advanced Sensor Applications in Dentistry
Project details: . This PhD project proposes an innovative exploration into the development of conductive electrospun materials, primarily designed to advance sensor technologies in the field of dentistry. 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
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
Reactive inkjet and textiles
The global market for printed textiles is in the region of $200 billion with inkjet printing playing a significant role. The PhD will investigate the various reactive inkjet mechanisms used in printed textiles, identifying research opportunities and investigating issues involved in expanding the role inkjet can play. Read more
Reactive inkjet printing
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently been printed using reactive inkjet printing. This PhD builds on that work aiming to expand the range of MOFs that can be printed and uncovering the advantages of using reactive inkjet printing as the production means. Read more
Reactive inkjet printing - silk porous structures for catalysis?
Silk stirrers and silk ‘rockets’ have been produced using reactive inkjet printing. The purpose of this PhD topic is to investigate the degree of porosity that the silk structures contain. Read more
Metallo-organic inks used in inkjet printing
This PhD focusses on investigating a range of metallo-organic inks that are in essence solutions of metal that can be inkjet printed. Read more
Improving the mechanical properties of carbon fibre composites via inkjet printed polymer inclusions
Carbon fibre composites have been toughened, and strengthened, by using inkjet printing to deposit discrete droplets of polymer onto the pre-preg that is used to produce the final composite material. Read more
