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 ...
A process for recycling thermosetting foams and the incorporation of recycled foams into structural composite panels
(2009)
In Europe, the rapidly growing thermosetting foam insulation products industry
comprises over 11,500 companies employing over a third of a million people and is
worth about 6 billion Euros in trade. It is currently ...
Development of the epoxy composite complex permittivity and its application in wind turbine blades
(2010)
Offshore wind farm structures may have the potential to affect marine navigation and
communication systems by reflecting radar signals. With ever increasing size of wind
turbines it is necessary to better understand the ...
Synthesis, Structural and Ferroelectric Properties of Perovskite-Like Layered Structured Materials
(Queen Mary University of London, 2015-09-03)
Abstract
Perovskite-like layered structured (PLS) compounds display a range of interesting physical and chemical properties, including photocatalysis, photoluminescence, ion conductivity, electrochemical stability, ...
Sensitivity computation and shape optimisation in aerodynamics using the adjoint methodology and Automatic Differentiation.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2012-09)
Adjoint based optimisation has until now demonstrated a great promise for optimisation
in aerodynamics due to its independence of the number of design variables. This is essential
in large industrial applications, where ...
Nanoparticle Mediated Heating for Non-invasive Thermal Therapies A
(Queen Mary University of London, 2013-06)
Nanomaterials have unique physics and chemistry properties compared with their bulk
counterparts and have been widely studied in different fields ranging from energy to
biomedicines. This thesis investigates controlled ...
Investigation into the use of carbon nanotubes networks as gate electrodes in field-effect gas sensors with increased functionality.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2013-09)
Gas sensors based on different principles have been developed for the applications of environmental monitoring, industrial processing, aerospace and the human body. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) demonstrate a detectable electrical ...
Ferroelectric Barium Titanate For Semiconductor Photocatalytic Application
(Queen Mary University of London, 2015-09-10)
Semiconductor photocatalysis has received extensive attention due to its wide applications in water and indoor air purification, solar fuel production, etc. Charge carrier separation is a crucial step in semiconductor ...
