Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 190, Article 108626. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compositesa.2024.108626

Thermoplastic composites are intrinsically suited to recycling, but processes are poorly realised. Methods applied to thermosets are energy intensive, resulting in fibre downgrading and matrix loss. With digital manufacturing and data intertwining, t... Read More about Demanufacturing of thermoplastic composites: Small scale experiments exploring ply separation and recovery.

Multiscale characterisation on the adhesion and selective adsorption at bitumen–mineral interface (2024)
Journal Article
Zhou, L., Airey, G., Zhang, Y., & Wang, C. (2025). Multiscale characterisation on the adhesion and selective adsorption at bitumen–mineral interface. Road Materials and Pavement Design, 26(7), 1678-1697. https://doi.org/10.1080/14680629.2024.2426012

The adhesion between bitumen and minerals is essential for the durability of asphalt mixtures, influenced by bitumen composition and mineral structure. The chemical action theory suggests that polar components in bitumen are adsorbed onto the mineral...
