New technologies to maintain bridges and other concrete structures
Over a period of 20 years, Professor Mangat and colleagues in the Materials and Engineering Research Institute have developed significant expertise of concrete materials related to their deterioration, repair and maintenance
International training school on HIPIMS a great success!
A training school on HIPIMS was organised by Professor Arutiun Ehiasarian to address the need for High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HIPIMS) fundamentals and research findings to reach a wider audience
Construction Materials
A summary of our research regarding construction materials
Evaluating and testing the comparative thermal performance of reflective and multifoil insulations
In the absence of a standard thermal conductivity test for thermo reflective insulants, we are able to evaluate and test the comparative thermal performance of reflective and multifoil insulations
Centre for Corrosion Technology
The Centre for Corrosion Technology (CCT) was founded by its Director, Professor Robert Akid, in 1996 to provide research and business support expertise concerning the implication of materials operating within corrosive environments.
Development of FEA models to predict the performance of lattice structures in additive manufacturing
The aim of this project is to develop and validate new numerical models using Finite Element Analysis (FEA), in order to determine the static and dynamic performance of regular and irregular lattice structures which are used in additive manufacturing and 3D printing.
The REINS Project
The REINS Project aims to develop a semi-autonomous mobile robot with sensory capabilities that can be shared with humans
Expertise in clay-based polymer nanocomposites
We have extensive experience of incorporating clays into a range of petroleum derived polymers including polypropylene, polyamide, polyacrylates, polycaprolactone, polyvinylalcohol as well as biopolymers including starch, polylactic acid, chitosan and gelatin
Power generation
We specialise in solving technical, environmental and economic issues associated with power generation from renewable and non-renewable energy sources
