Nanostructured, Alkaline Titanate‐Converted, and Heat‐Treated Ti6Al4V Microspheres via Wet‐Chemical Alkaline Modification and their ORR Electrocatalytic Response (2022)
Journal Article
Wadge, M. D., Bird, M. A., Sankowski, A., Constantin, H., Fay, M. W., Cooper, T. P., …Grant, D. M. (2023). Nanostructured, Alkaline Titanate‐Converted, and Heat‐Treated Ti6Al4V Microspheres via Wet‐Chemical Alkaline Modification and their ORR Electrocatalytic Response. Advanced Materials Interfaces, 10(5), Article 2201523. https://doi.org/10.1002/admi.202201523

This study describes the chemical conversion and heat treatment of Ti6Al4V microspheres (Ti6_MS), and the resulting effects on their electrocatalytic properties. The wet-chemical conversion (5.0m NaOH, 60°C, 24h; Sample label: Ti6_TC) converts the to...

Characterization of potential nanoporous sodium titanate film formation on Ti6Al4V and TiO2 microspherical substrates via wet-chemical alkaline conversion (2022)
Journal Article
Wadge, M. D., Carrington, M. J., Constantin, H., Orange, K., Greaves, J., Islam, M. T., …Grant, D. M. (2022). Characterization of potential nanoporous sodium titanate film formation on Ti6Al4V and TiO2 microspherical substrates via wet-chemical alkaline conversion. Materials Characterization, 185, Article 111760. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matchar.2022.111760

The authors present novel insights into the formation of nanoporous, wet-chemically produced sodium titanate films onto microspherical substrates of varying composition. Microspheres of Ti6Al4V (atomised; ca. 20–50 μm), which were utilised due to the...

Flame spheroidisation of dense and porous Ca2Fe2O5 microspheres (2020)
Journal Article
Molinar Díaz, J., Samad, S. A., Steer, E., Neate, N., Constantin, H., Islam, M. T., …Ahmed, I. (2020). Flame spheroidisation of dense and porous Ca2Fe2O5 microspheres. Materials Advances, 1(9), 3539-3544. https://doi.org/10.1039/d0ma00564a

Compositionally uniform magnetic Ca2Fe2O5 (srebrodolskite) microspheres created via a rapid, single-stage flame spheroidisation (FS) process using magnetite and carbonate based porogen (1:1 Fe3O4:CaCO3) feedstock powders, are described. Two types of... Read More about Flame spheroidisation of dense and porous Ca2Fe2O5 microspheres.

Discrete element modelling of flexible fibre packing (2014)
Journal Article
Langston, P., Kennedy, A. R., & Constantin, H. (2015). Discrete element modelling of flexible fibre packing. Computational Materials Science, 96(A), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.commatsci.2014.09.007

This paper presents Discrete Element Model simulations of packing of non-cohesive flexible fibres in a cylindrical vessel. No interstitial fluid effects are modelled. Each fibre-particle is modelled as a series of connected sphero-cylinders. In an in... Read More about Discrete element modelling of flexible fibre packing.
