Contact Angle Measurement

The contact angle is the angle which is formed at the three-phase interface between a solid, a liquid drop and air or another gas. Such measurements can be used to determine wettability, which provides an indication of how effectively a liquid will spread over a surface.

PVD coating equipment

A Hauzer HTC 1000-4/ ABS (Arc Bond Sputter) coating unit is housed in the laboratory based at the NTCPVD. This unit is primarily a research, development and pilot production machine

Development of Thermal Imaging to Monitor Wounds in Skeletal Surgeries

The aim of this project is to develop innovative thermal imaging solutions to assess and monitor inflammation and surgical tissues' reaction and the time taken for them to settle down after skeletal surgeries.

Development of accelerometry to assist in vestibular dysfunction examinations and to reduce falls

This study aims to develop accelerometry techniques in order to accurately measure the body's posture and movements and use signal processing and artificial intelligence methods to analyse and interpret the information.
