In collaboration with Total Reclaims Demolition Ltd Asphalt serves as the primary surfacing material for the road infrastructure in the UK, comprising mineral aggregates and bitumen. However, foundation industries in the UK generate a substantial amount of waste concrete and glass, which presents an opportunity to replace the limited natural aggregates. This project focused on […]

In collaboration with PCL Ceramics and Dr. Ozge Akbulut, Sabancı University, Istanbul In this project, we showcased an innovative way of processing ceramics in the dough form that is ideal for pressure-moulding (e.g., ram pressing and injection moulding) at room temperature with a minimum required pressure (hand pressing). The process involved the incorporation of a […]

In collaboration with Tata Steel Hyperspectral metrology utilising a visible-range hyperspectral imaging system has been verified through testing with high-temperature hydrocarbon flames. Gas-phase flames were imaged, and the spectral emission of methane-air flames comprehensively investigated. The results demonstrated that the newly developed system can capture the gas-phase flames precisely and that the high spatial resolution […]

In collaboration with PyrOptik Instruments Limited Emissivity is an often-overlooked characteristic of a material; it represents a material’s efficiency to radiate thermal energy. In order to accurately measure the temperature of a process using infrared radiation thermometry, the emissivity of the material needs to be known. Without an accurate temperature measurement, the process cannot be […]
