Our research in this specialist area focuses on the improvement of materials properties through the development of novel ceramic composites. Using some of most advanced techniques and equipment, we have been improving wear resistance, strength, fracture toughness, corrosion resistance and reducing weight.

The Materials and Fluid Flow Modelling Group is involved in the computer simulation and mathematical modelling of a range of materials and related materials processing techniques

Intumescent coatings are used to protect structural steelwork during a fire. These coatings expand 50 to 100 times when heated in air

The ability of a polymer to gel when subjected to stimuli is of considerable importance in the production of smart polymers

The simultaneous ingress of acetone and water into dried PVOH-clay nanocomposites containing 2.5 wt% or 5 wt% of well dispersed Na-Cloisite, using FTIR-ATR, was compared with that into pure PVOH films
