Research: We explore unconventional approaches, focus on fundamental concepts but also develop successful concepts to a level suitable for absorption by the industry. Thermodynamic design of novel alloys.
Development of novel high performance polymers for structural applications and self healing materials such as improvement of the ompressive properties of Aramid fibres; new liquid crystalline thermoset resins; reactive polycarbonate synthesis; synthesis and characterization of novel polymer systems and composites; composite sensor materials.
Metals suchs as modelling of metal deformation using irreversible mechanics; designing ultra high strength corrosion resistance steels; design of highly formable and ultra-strong alloys through plasticity induced transformations in Titanium alloys; optimising strength and toughness relationships in aluminium alloys through interrupted ageing;
determination of the transformation conditions for individual retained austenite grains in steels; development of spring steels.
Self healing materials such as encapsulation of reactive chemicals for the design of self-healing engineering plastics; self healing in high temperature steels; self healing in high temperature ceramics; self healing polymers.
