Alumina-graphene nanocomposite coatings fabricated by suspension high velocity oxy-fuel thermal spraying for ultra-low-wear (2017)
Journal Article

An alumina coating containing 1 wt.% graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) is deposited for the first time by suspension high velocity oxy-fuel (SHVOF) thermal spraying – an emerging coating deposition technique. Raman spectroscopy shows the GNPs survive the... Read More about Alumina-graphene nanocomposite coatings fabricated by suspension high velocity oxy-fuel thermal spraying for ultra-low-wear.

A generic method to synthesise graphitic carbon coated nanoparticles in large scale and their derivative polymer nanocomposites (2017)
Journal Article

A versatile Rotary Chemical Vapour Deposition (RCVD) technique for the in-situ synthesis of large scale carbon-coated non-magnetic metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) is presented, and a controllable coating thickness varying between 1–5 nm has been achi...

How the toughest inorganic fullerene cages absorb shockwave pressures in a protective nanocomposite: experimental evidence from two in situ investigations (2017)
Journal Article

Nanocomposites fabricated using the toughest caged inorganic fullerene WS2 (IF-WS2) nanoparticles could offer ultimate protection via absorbing shockwaves; however, if the IF-WS2 nanomaterials really work, how they behave and what they experience wit...
