Surface functionalisation by the introduction of self-healing properties into electroless Ni-P coatings (2018)
Journal Article
Stankiewicz, A., Kefallinou, Z., Mordarski, G., Jagoda, Z., & Spencer, B. (2019). Surface functionalisation by the introduction of self-healing properties into electroless Ni-P coatings. Electrochimica Acta, 297, 427-434. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.electacta.2018.12.026

Ni-P∖alginate microgels coatings, as potential metallic protective coatings with self-healing properties, were deposited by the electroless method. The alginate microgels contained nickel chloride and sodium hypophosphite. It was proven that the redu...

Graphene-Oxide and Hydrogel Coated FBG-Based pH Sensor for Biomedical Applications (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Binetti, L., Stankiewicz, A., & Alwis, L. S. M. (2018, September). Graphene-Oxide and Hydrogel Coated FBG-Based pH Sensor for Biomedical Applications. Presented at Eurosensors 2018 Conference, Graz, Austria

A hydrogel coated fibre grating-based pH sensor for biomedical applications has been realised, where Graphene Oxide (GO) had been used to enhance the bonding between the coating and the fibre. Two methods of deposition of GO were analysed i.e., evapo... Read More about Graphene-Oxide and Hydrogel Coated FBG-Based pH Sensor for Biomedical Applications.

3D-printing ‘Ocean plastic’–Fostering childrens’ engagement with sustainability (2018)
Journal Article
Vones, K., Allan, D., Lambert, I., & Vettese, S. (2018). 3D-printing ‘Ocean plastic’–Fostering childrens’ engagement with sustainability. Materials Today Communications, 16, 56-59. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mtcomm.2018.04.001

Ocean plastic pollution has been identified as one of the biggest environmental threats of our time. As large islands of plastic waste such as the Pacific Gyre amass through the forces of intercontinental currents (Law et al., 2010), remote beaches i...
