Polymers in life sciences
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
Hallam Energy
Hallam Energy was established as an industrial research group offering research, knowledge transfer and consultancy services. We have delivered over 50 projects for our clients ranging from start-ups and SMEs to multinational companies and governmental bodies, both in the UK and abroad
Modelling Clay Polymer Nanocomposites
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 lattice Boltzmann method
Lattice Boltzmann has been used as the host of the hydrodynamics simulation. It is a fairly recent method based on the well known Boltzmann probability distribution function. The following aims to give the reader the essential concept of lattice Boltzmann.
Multi-component fluid flow - lattice Boltzmann method
An introduction to using the lattice Boltzmann method for Multi-component fluid flow analysis
Characterisation and optimisation of the zenithal bistable device
The zenithal bistable device (ZBD) is a bistable LCD device with major optical, mechanical and operational advantages over other bistable technologies
Sustainable Materials, Sustainable Buildings
The Materials and Engineering Research Institute is offering numerous PhD/MPhil research opportunities for postgraduate students interested in the field of sustainable construction
Energy in buildings
We specialise in optimising energy usage in domestic, industrial and commercial buildings, both newly built and retrofitting
Applications of Fluid Flow Modelling
One of our main interest is to capture the correct behaviour of a blood flow inside a capillary, where the hydrodynamics of each cell has to be resolved explicitly
Innovative construction materials
Our research in this area is designed to enable us to advise on waste reuse, extra durability and extended life of resources and innovation
