Combustion, performance and emissions characteristics of compression-ignition engines fuelled by sustainable fuels
(2011)
Internal combustion engines are approaching their theoretical maximum efficiency,
which could indicate limited future technological improvements in performance and
exhaust emissions with standard fuels. In addition, ...
Fabrication of porous carbon structures for biological fuel cells
(2010)
Biofuel cells demand three-dimensional, “high” surface area electrodes with “high”
electrical conductivity and structural integrity. The aim of this project is to design and
fabricate porous carbon structures as ...
Development of a non-invasive method to detect pericellular spatial oxygen gradients using FLIM
(2011)
Extracellular oxygen concentrations affect cellular metabolism and influence tissue
function. Detection methods for these extracellular oxygen concentrations currently have
poor spatial resolution and are frequently ...
The effect of turbulence and shear on the flow around three dimensional square cylinders
(1980)
The effect of turbulence and shear on the flow around square
cylinders has been investigated (i) for models without a free
end at incidence a in the range 00<a< 45 0 for models with
and without end plates and, (ii) for ...
Surface properties of electrospun polymer nanofibres
(2010)
Fibrous materials are used in a variety of applications due to their relatively high
surface area to volume ratio as well as anisotropic behaviour. Electrospinning is a
popular fabrication technique which produces polymer ...
Optically addressable, integrative composite polymer microcapsules
(2009)
The development of remotely addressable tools to encapsulate, store and deliver active materials to
living cells is a particularly challenging topic of material science. As drug delivery agents,
microcontainers not only ...
Self assembly for surface functionalization to improve biocompatibilities in Ti-based implants and enzyme immobilization in biofuel cells
(2010)
Self-assembly is an effective biomimetic technique for surface functionalization and
nanostructural synthesis. 3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) is a popular
molecule that can assemble over substrates to modify surface ...
Burning velocity of premixed turbulent flames in the weakly wrinkled regime
(2005)
Turbulent burning velocities have been measured for methane/air and ethylene/air
planar flames stabilised in a wide-angled conical diffuser where the flow is
decelerated axially. Novel instrumentation, involving a rotating ...
Protein changes associated with embryonic stem cell differentiation to vascular smooth muscle cells
(2006)
Embryonic stem (ES) cells can differentiate into many different cell lines,
including vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs). The aim of this project is to
characterize protein changes during this differentiation process. ...
