Extra-intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli in the UK. The importance in bacteraemia versus urinary tract infection, colonisation of widespread clones and specific virulence factors
(Queen Mary University of London, 2015)Extra-intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) are a significant cause of urinary tract infections and bacteraemia in the UK and around the world. These E. coli primarily belong to phylogenetic groups B2 and D, ... -
Graphene based Nanocomposites for Mechanical Reinforcement
(Queen Mary University of London, 2015-01)In this work the potential of graphene-like particles for mechanical reinforcement is investigated. Different polymer processing methods are studied from traditional ones to more advanced techniques. The potential of ... -
Processing and properties of graphene reinforced glass/ceramic composites.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2015-02)This research provides a comprehensive investigation in understanding the effect of the addition of graphene nano-platelets (GNP) on the mechanical, tribological and biological properties of glass/ceramic composites. We ... -
Viscoelastic response of cells and the role of actin cytoskeletal remodelling.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2012)The mechanical properties of living cells provide useful information on cellular structure and function. In the present study a micropipette aspiration technique was developed to investigate the viscoelastic parameters of ...
