Research Supervisor Connect. This research will investigate the use of various alternative materials in concrete structures. Masters/PHD. The use of concrete is increasing due to growing demands for the construction of infrastructures as a result of
have been reported for the purification of the CNT products synthesised in a fluidised bed by CVD on micron-sized catalyst supports. ... We are developing conventional and microwave powered acid digestion processes which successfully remove catalysts and
N/A. Detailed chemical kinetic modelling of catalytic processes is an emerging area of research that provides greatly improved understanding of the reaction mechanisms underlying the manufacture of important chemical products.
Masters/PHD. Structures are subject to gradual and progressive deterioration over time, and are likewise prone to damage due to accident, misuse or extreme natural events.
Research Supervisor Connect. The project will investigate the performance of novel engineered timber-concrete composite connections as a structural member under in- and out-of plane loads. Masters/PHD. Formwork is erected to hold wet concrete in
Their environmental and market impacts will be studied against benchmark standards of current carbon material products and engaged with potential industrial partners to evaluate scale-up and commercialization opportunities.
2. To define how glucocorticoids affect the synthesis, metabolism and signalling of osteoblast-derived products that act as mediators between bone and energy metabolism.
Our projects range from fundamental studies of the chemical reaction mechanisms that control the nature of the products, through laboratory experiments to identify products and kinetics across a wide range of
For instance, solar chimney, which relies solely on the energy from the sun to drive air flow through an air channel, has been adopted to promote natural ventilation through buildings; and
