A crystal plasticity phenomenological model to capture the non-linear shear response of carbon fibre reinforced composites
(Elsevier, 2021-07-01)A hardening response is often observed for shear-dominated large deformation of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics (CFRP). This non-linear response is often modelled by fitting a strain hardening law against experimental ... -
The culture of HaCaT cells on liquid substrates is mediated by a mechanically strong liquid–liquid interface
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017-04)The mechanical properties of naturally-derived matrices and biomaterials are thought to play an important role in directing cell adhesion, spreading, motility, proliferation and differentiation. However, recent reports ... -
Cx43 regulates mechanotransduction mechanisms in human preterm amniotic membrane defects.
(Wiley, 2023-08-30)OBJECTIVE: The effects of mechanical stimulation in preterm amniotic membrane (AM) defects were explored. METHODS: Preterm AM was collected from women undergoing planned preterm caesarean section (CS) due to fetal growth ... -
Cyclodextrins: a New and Effective Class of Co-Modulators for Aqueous Zirconium-MOF Syntheses
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2021-03)Inspired by the effectiveness of cyclodextrin (CD) auxiliary agents in the design of nanocomposite materials, we hypothesized that the same approach can be employed in the controlled assembly of zirconium-based metal–organic ...
