Evaluating UKCP18-based weather files for overheating assessment using building simulation: A case study for a flat in London
(SAGE Publications, 13 October 2024)Global warming and net zero transition are the two biggest challenges currently faced by the building industry in the UK. While the net zero transition primarily focuses on the problems of energy efficiency and heat ... -
Fabrication of functionalised graphene-PAEK nanocomposites for different manufacturing processes
(Taylor & Francis, 6 December 2024)Achieving good dispersion of graphene (GNP), in polyetheretherketone (PEEK), is challenging due to the high melt viscosity, solvent resistance and processing temperature of PEEK. In addition, certain manufacturing processes ... -
Morphology analysis of PEEK 450G using scanning electron microscopy directly on fast scanning calorimetry chips
(Nature Research, 8 August 2024)To explore the morphology of polyetheretherketone (PEEK), this study employed fast scanning calorimetry (FSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The objective was to observe the PEEK microstructure under various thermal ... -
Fe3O4 encapsulated in hierarchically porous nitrogen-doped graphitic carbon layers for efficient oxygen reduction reaction: Enhanced intrinsic activity via directional interfacial charge transfer
(Elsevier, 24 October 2024)Constructing efficient electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is crucial for the commercialization of metal-air batteries. Iron oxide-based catalysts exhibit promising potential for ORR. However, ... -
Exploiting reprogrammable nonlinear structural springs for enhancing the manoeuvrability of a vibro-impact capsule robot
(Elsevier, 24 October 2024)Vibro-impact capsule robots, propelled by rhythmic collisions of an internal mass triggered by an external magnetic field, are emerging as promising tools for minimally invasive surgery. This innovative actuation mechanism ...
