Processing and characterisation of water hyacinth cellulose nanofibres-based aluminium-ion battery separators (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Beg, M., Sun, D., Popescu, C., Alcock, K. M., Onyianta, A. J., O'Rourke, D., …Yu, H. (2021). Processing and characterisation of water hyacinth cellulose nanofibres-based aluminium-ion battery separators. In 2021 26th International Conference on Automation and Computing (ICAC). https://doi.org/10.23919/icac50006.2021.9594191

Water hyacinth is an invasive plant that can be converted to high value cellulose nanofibers. This study presents battery separators prepared from water hyacinth cellulose nanofibres (WHCNF) via a freeze-thawing crosslinking method, using polyethylen...

Potential for estimating the age of instruments by characterisation of wood properties via acoustics. (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Ridley-Ellis, D., & Popescu, C. (2014). Potential for estimating the age of instruments by characterisation of wood properties via acoustics.

The performance of musical instruments is sensitive to several wood properties that are affected by aging. These wood properties also change with temperature and humidity in ways that interact with (and change as a result of) aging processes. This of...

Stiffness changes during low temperature thermal treatment of Scots pine, assessed by acoustic NDT (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Ridley-Ellis, D., Popescu, C., Keating, B. A., Popescu, M., & Hill, C. A. S. (2014). Stiffness changes during low temperature thermal treatment of Scots pine, assessed by acoustic NDT. In L. Nunes, D. Jones, C. A. S. Hill, & H. Militz (Eds.), Proceedings of the 7th European Conference on Wood Modification

The change, over time, in density, longitudinal modulus of elasticity, shear modulus and chemical structure of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) under thermal treatment (110, 120 and 140 C) was evaluated. The determinations of the specific changes were c... Read More about Stiffness changes during low temperature thermal treatment of Scots pine, assessed by acoustic NDT.
