Mould release technologies with regard to concrete surface finish (2015)
Journal Article
Shyha, I., Richardson, A., Coventry, K., & Ponton, H. (2016). Mould release technologies with regard to concrete surface finish. Magazine of Concrete Research, 68(2), 87-98. https://doi.org/10.1680/macr.15.00067

Concrete durability is in part dependent upon the quality of the concrete cover zone. The type of mould release technology used has a direct effect on the surface finish of fair-faced concrete, and this in turn affects long-term durability. This work...

Use of morphological features of carbonaceous materials for improved mechanical properties of epoxy nanocomposites (2015)
Journal Article
Atif, R., Wei, J., Shyha, I., & Inam, F. (2016). Use of morphological features of carbonaceous materials for improved mechanical properties of epoxy nanocomposites. RSC Advances, 6(2), 1351-1359. https://doi.org/10.1039/C5RA24039E

The influence of reinforcement morphology on damage tolerance and fracture toughness of epoxy based nanocomposites has been studied. Two different forms of carbonaceous reinforcements were used: multi-layered graphene (MLG) and nanostructured graphit...

The degradation of mechanical properties in polymer nano-composites exposed to liquid media - a review (2015)
Journal Article
Saharudin, M., Atif, R., Shyha, I., & Inam, F. (2015). The degradation of mechanical properties in polymer nano-composites exposed to liquid media - a review. RSC Advances, 6(2), 1076-1089. https://doi.org/10.1039/C5RA22620A

The advancement of polymer nano-composites has been motivated by the need for materials with a specific combination of mechanical properties beyond those achieved from only one material. Integration of reinforcement into polymers at nanoscale can pro... Read More about The degradation of mechanical properties in polymer nano-composites exposed to liquid media - a review.

Manufacturing at double the speed (2015)
Journal Article
Allwood, J., Childs, T., Clare, A., Silva, A. D., Dhokia, V., Hutchings, I., …Turner, S. (2016). Manufacturing at double the speed. Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 229, 729-757. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmatprotec.2015.10.028

The speed of manufacturing processes today depends on a trade-off between the physical processes of production, the wider system that allows these processes to operate and the co-ordination of a supply chain in the pursuit of meeting customer needs....
