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

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

Cement powders contain four major hydraulic constituents, ie clinker phases, which hydrate at different rates and thus influence important factors such as setting time, workability and mechanical strength

The objective of this project is to bind sand grains together whilst maintaining formation porosity and fluid flow

The Centre for Infrastructure Management has a wide range of capabilities for testing concrete. A brief of each test we perform is given below.

In collaboration with Prof Chris Breen and colleagues, we have been using molecular-resolution simulations of clay galleries to investigate detailed structural behaviours that underpin coating treatments used for food packaging applications.

The Materials and Engineering Research Institute is offering numerous PhD/MPhil research opportunities for postgraduate students interested in the field of sustainable construction

We aimed to develop an expert system to enable the optimisation of repairs and maintenance solutions for reinforced concrete highway bridges

In collaboration with Prof Chris Breen and colleagues, we have been using molecular-resolution simulations of clay galleries to investigate detailed structural behaviours that underpin coating treatments used for food packaging applications.

This short course will explore opportunities and limitations of forensic failure investigation of automotive light bulbs
