Electric superbike racing: the design and construction of a championship winning electric superbike (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Wheeler, P., Blissett, J., & Gimeno-Fabra, M. (2017). Electric superbike racing: the design and construction of a championship winning electric superbike.

The electric superbikes recently developed at The University of Nottingham have to be considered as a high performance vehicles, competing with its internal combustion engine driven counterparts. This paper presents the motivations for this work as w... Read More about Electric superbike racing: the design and construction of a championship winning electric superbike.

Mechanical, structural and dissolution properties of heat treated thin-film phosphate based glasses (2017)
Journal Article
Stuart, B. W., Gimeno-Fabra, M., Segal, J., Ahmed, I., & Grant, D. M. (2017). Mechanical, structural and dissolution properties of heat treated thin-film phosphate based glasses. Applied Surface Science, 416, 605-617. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apsusc.2017.04.110

Here we show the deposition of 2.7 μm thick phosphate based glass films produced by magnetron sputtering, followed by post heat treatments at 500 °C. Variations in degradation properties pre and post heat treatment were attributed to the formation of...

Assessing the life cycle environmental impacts of titania nanoparticle production by continuous flow solvo/hydrothermal synthesis (2017)
Journal Article
Caramazana-Gonzalez, P., Dunne, P. W., Gimeno-Fabra, M., Zilka, M., Ticha, M., Stieberova, B., …Lester, E. (in press). Assessing the life cycle environmental impacts of titania nanoparticle production by continuous flow solvo/hydrothermal synthesis. Green Chemistry, 19, https://doi.org/10.1039/C6GC03357A

Continuous-flow hydrothermal and solvothermal syntheses offer substantial advantages over conventional processes, producing high quality materials from a wide range of precursors. In this study, we evaluate the “cradle-to-gate” life cycle environment...
