Journal Article
Ruiz-Cantu, L. A., Pearce, A. K., Burroughs, L., Bennett, T. M., Vasey, C. E., Wildman, R., …Taresco, V. (2019). Synthesis of methacrylate-terminated block copolymers with reduced transesterification by controlled ring-opening polymerization. Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics, 220(2), Article 1800459. https://doi.org/10.1002/macp.201800459

This work presents a robust method to achieve the synthesis of low molecular weight polyesters 26 via ring-opening polymerization (ROP) initiated by 2-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate (HEMA) 27 when using triazabicyclodecene (TBD) as catalyst. The effect th... Read More about Synthesis of methacrylate-terminated block copolymers with reduced transesterification by controlled ring-opening polymerization.

Mid-Complexity Circuital Model of Induction Motor with Rotor Cage: A Numerical Resolution (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Bolognesi, P., Gerada, C., Papini, L., & Marfoli, A. (2018). Mid-Complexity Circuital Model of Induction Motor with Rotor Cage: A Numerical Resolution. In Proceedings 2018 XIII International Conference on Electrical Machines (ICEM) (277 - 283). https://doi.org/10.1109/ICELMACH.2018.8506685

A general middle complexity model of electromagnetic devices is applied to a cage induction motor. Such modelling approach has been simplified and adapted in order to pursue a fair representation of the electrical machine. Particular attention was gi...

A methodology for railway track maintenance modelling using Plausible Petri nets (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Chiachio, M., Chiachio, J., Prescott, D., & Andrews, J. (2018, September). A methodology for railway track maintenance modelling using Plausible Petri nets. Paper presented at Probabilistic Safety Assessment and Management PSAM 14

This paper proposes a new mathematical methodology to model expert systems with the ability to sequentially learn from data. To this end, the Plausible Petri nets (PPNs) methodology, first developed in M. Chiachío et al. [Proceedings of the Future Te...

Novel bioresorbable textile composites for medical applications (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Zhu, C., Ahmed, I., Parsons, A. J., Wang, Y., Tan, C., Liu, J., …Liu, X. (2018). Novel bioresorbable textile composites for medical applications. In N/A

Currently, phosphate glass fibre (PGF) reinforced composites are a potential solution for bone repairing due to sufficient mechanical properties and full bioresorbability. In this study, a small inkle-type loom for hand weaving facilitated the produc... Read More about Novel bioresorbable textile composites for medical applications.

Microwave pyrolysis of biomass within a liquid medium (2018)
Journal Article
Shepherd, B. J., Ryan, J., Adam, M., Beneroso Vallejo, D., Castaño, P., Kostas, E. T., & Robinson, J. P. (2018). Microwave pyrolysis of biomass within a liquid medium. Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis, 134, 381-388. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jaap.2018.07.004

© 2018 Elsevier B.V. A new approach to pyrolysis is demonstrated that uses microwave heating combined with an external liquid media at atmospheric pressure. The liquid acts as the inerting medium instead of the traditional inert gas, and also acts as... Read More about Microwave pyrolysis of biomass within a liquid medium.
