"Microfibres are the most abundant form of microplastic pollution in our rivers and oceans. Unlike microbeads, which are easily excluded from our toiletries and cleaning products, microfibres are formed through damage to a vital resource, our clothes. Wear and tear caused by abrasive forces in our washing machines result in the fragmentation of man-made t...

The surface engineering and advanced coating industry in the UK has made considerable advances in the modification of the surface energy of plastic for diverse applications such as anti-icing in aircrafts, self-cleaning windows and anti-fog safety glasses. The objective of this project is to evaluate and tune a range of surface coatings and treatments on ...

The proposed research project is aimed at developing an affordable energy-efficient solid-state cooler that is based on caloric materials. Switching to such affordable efficient cooling technology would reduce the power consumption that is required for refrigeration and air-conditioning, which is rapidly increasing in low-income and lower-middle-income de...

The main objective of this mid-range project is to enable magnetic refrigeration technology to meet the needs of the domestic cooling appliance market. The primary goals are to reach levels of reliability and lifetime performance required for this mass market. The project outcomes will enable lower cost high-efficiency appliances for consumers, helping to...
