In collaboration with the Instituto de Cienncia y Tecnologia de Polimeros (Madrid) we have examined the extent of the surface modification of a polymeric membrane. The polymer (PVC) was modified according to the following reaction scheme

Raman microscopy allows us to understand the early stages of oilwell cement hydration, which is crucial to its application

The grey colour of ordinary Portland cement is due to the presence of ferrite, the presence of which is unwelcome in White Portland cement (WPC)

The SUREFIRE project was undertaken to develop a brand-new class of materials that provide strength, stiffness, hardness and fire performance properties to compete with conventional materials such as steel or concrete.

We have a range of methods that can be used to analyse polymers, minerals and organic-inorganic complexes

A series of synthetic C-S-H phases has been prepared, with the aim of studying structural changes with changes in C/S

Multi-spot welded joints are routinely used in the automotive and other industries to produce structurally critical components

Sheffield Hallam University's ELASTOMERS Project aims at developing innovative composite end effectors for handling lightweight, flexible elastomers

Researchers at Sheffield Hallam University have been looking into a robotic solution to help people with advancing dementia to maintain safe exercise regimes

The Viewfinder project built an autonomous robotic system to establish ground safety in the event of a fire.
