Find out about the Bridge Inspection Course at Materials and Engineering Research Institute, Sheffield Hallam University.

This short course will explore opportunities and limitations of forensic failure investigation of automotive light bulbs

Microscopes have very limited depth-of-focus. This imposes a variety of constraints when building imaging and vision solutions for microscopes. The MMVL vision software for the MiCRoN-project uses a geometric hashing technique to compare all images in an image stack with the scene

Raman microscopy allows us to understand the early stages of oilwell cement hydration, which is crucial to its application

The ability of well-dispersed organomodified clays to enhance the fire retardency of thermoplastic polymers is well established, but thermoset polyester has received relatively little attention

Combining swelling clays with certain types of polymers and plasticisers, to form sustainable coatings, results in a significant increase of barrier properties as well as flexibility and durability

PRONACOM was designed to promote integration between complementary scientific communities and encourage more efficient use of resources

The objective of this project is to bind sand grains together whilst maintaining formation porosity and fluid flow

The SUREFIRE project was undertaken to develop a brand-new class of materials that provide strength, stiffness, hardness and fire performance properties to compete with conventional materials such as steel or concrete.

In collaboration with the Instituto de Cienncia y Tecnologia de Polimeros (Madrid) we have examined the extent of the surface modification of a polymeric membrane. The polymer (PVC) was modified according to the following reaction scheme
