The need to constrain global warming demands new sustainable and green technologies.\nLine start synchronous reluctance machine technologies offer a big potential\nfor future energy savings in industrial applications. Within this thesis the efficiency\nand starting capability of a novel line start synchronous reluctan…
Current biomedical material research involves the use of a large variety of materials depending on the specific functions and characteristics required. The high mechanical performances and the relatively easy forming techniques allowed metals to be the most widely used material for implantations. Nevertheless, the dev…
Current conservation practice is to replace the water in cell structures of waterlogged wood with a synthetic polymer. Because cellulose is an integral component of wood, they are likely to show higher compatibility than synthetic polymers. Bacterial cellulose (BC) can be relatively easily grown from Acetobacter xylin…
The utilization of Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS) in automotive applications is motivated by a push to reduce the weight of cars in order to minimize CO2 emissions. The potential risk of Hydrogen Embrittlement (HE) limits the widespread application of AHSS, making it one of the hottest topics in materials engine…
One of the greatest threats to human health is increasing antimicrobial resistance among pathogens, and finding alternatives for treatment of bacterial infections is of highest importance together with a more controlled use of antibiotics. Porphyrins and heme have both been shown to be a promising class of compounds f…

The impact of general and pitting corrosion on the effective mechanical properties of reinforcing bars under monotonic tensile loading was explored experimentally. Reduction in the effective mechanical properties of steel reinforcement due to pitting corrosion was found. A novel methodology was used to develop corrosi…

This research is particularly focused on studying thermal management of lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery modules in electric vehicles by using active, passive and hybrid active-passive methods. The thermal behavior prediction of batteries is performed by a novel electrochemical-thermal model. Different approaches such as…
Correction for 'Two-dimensional boron: structures, properties and applications' by Zhuhua Zhang et al., Chem. Soc. Rev., 2017, DOI: .
Cavitation bubbles are a topic of long-standing interest owing to the powerful phenomena associated with their collapse. Their unique ability to focus energy typically causes damage in hydraulic machinery (turbines, pumps, propellers, ...) but, if managed correctly, can also be beneficial in numerous applications such…
Sorption of pesticides to solid materials used in soilless stonewool cultures is relevant because it may reduce emissions to surface water. The sorption of pymetrozine and dimethomorph was studied in batch experiments with clean stonewool, drip-irrigation pipes, transport pipes and the plastic foil surrounding the sto…
As computing power has increased in recent years, there has been a strong interest in using direct whole-core transport calculations for reactor analysis to improve on the traditional nodal methods used by industry. Because 3D transport is still prohibitively expensive for practical calculations, a new class of planar…
Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a method for thin film fabrication with atomic level precision. This thesis focuses on low-temperature thermal and plasma- enhanced ALD and presents results on thin film growth by these techniques with examples of common ALD materials: Al2O3, ZnO and TiO2. As an example of limitations of…
Correction for ‘Biodistribution of upconversion/magnetic silica-coated NaGdF 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ nanoparticles in mouse models’ by Uliana Kostiv et al. , RSC Adv. , 2017, 7 , 45997–46006.
There has been a long-standing interest in the development of radar absorbing materials (RAMs) for military applications such as microwave absorbers for stealth technology, anechoic chambers, and morphing scenarios, as well as camouflaging ground-based hardware against airborne radar observation. Even so, there remain…
Naturally Occurring Radionuclide Materials (NORMs) and heavy metals are a common occurrence in the environment and have resulted in human exposure for the entire history of mankind. However, anthropogenic activities such as mining have resulted in elevated levels of these contaminants in the environment. A health risk…
Design charts are developed to estimate the required thickness of trackbed. The design criteria are based on the limits of soil’s fatigue strength, shear failure and plastic deformation. The main feature of the method is the ability to design multilayered trackbed with different combinations of stiffness and thickness…
Since piezoelectric effect was discovered in 1880, it has been widely used in micro-actuators, sensors, and energy harvesters. Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) is a commonly used piezoelectric material due to the high piezoelectric response. The basic PZT film fabrication process includes deposition, sintering, and polin…
Stretchable conductive ink is a key enabler for stretchable electronics. This thesis research focuses on the development of a new stretchable and screen printable conductive ink. After print and cure, this ink would be capable of being stretched by at least 500 cycles at 20% strain without increasing its resistance by…
