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

Hydrogels are crosslinked polymers that contain large amounts of water. We have developed a novel hydrogel loaded with Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) which can be maintained as a liquid ex vivo and be injected into the affected tissue site where body temperature triggers in situ gelation.

By applying our experience and expertise in polymer analysis, we are able to obtain useful insights into polymer behaviour and suggest solutions to material or processing challenges

There are a large number of commercially available additives that enable polymers to perform important functions over a wide range of conditions

The competitive movement of small molecules through polymers, membranes and constitutes an important phenomenon in many applications

One of the main applications of machine vision in industry is in the alignment and positioning of tools that are used in a large variety of tasks

In this work, we are using molecular dynamics simulation to investigate the principles by which highly anisotropic nanostructures nucleate and grow

A novel wound dressings which is active against MRSA for four days has been developed in collaboration with colleagues from the Biomolecular Sciences Research Centre at Sheffield Hallam

We specialise in optimising energy usage in domestic, industrial and commercial buildings, both newly built and retrofitting
