Formation of hollow carbon nanoshells from thiol stabilised silver nanoparticles via heat treatment (2018)
Journal Article
Watts, J. A., Fay, M. W., Rance, G. A., Brown, P. D., & Khlobystov, A. N. (2018). Formation of hollow carbon nanoshells from thiol stabilised silver nanoparticles via heat treatment. Carbon, 139, 538-544. doi:10.1016/j.carbon.2018.06.074

Uniform, less 10?nm sized, hollow carbon nano-shells (HCNS) have been prepared via a single-step, thermal treatment of alkanethiol stabilised Ag nanoparticles (TS-AgNP). Direct evidence for the formation of spherical HCNS from TS-AgNP is provided by...

Modelling and Characterisation of Electrical Discharge TiC-Fe Cermet Coatings (2018)
Journal Article
Algodi, S. J., Murray, J. W., Brown, P. D., & Clare, A. T. (2018). Modelling and Characterisation of Electrical Discharge TiC-Fe Cermet Coatings. Procedia CIRP, 68, 28-33. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.procir.2017.12.017

The creation of coatings via Electrical Discharge (ED) methods can enhance the functionality of components which are subject to prior ED machining process steps. However, the industrial application of these methods has been limited due to poor unders... Read More about Modelling and Characterisation of Electrical Discharge TiC-Fe Cermet Coatings.

Wear performance of TiC/Fe cermet electrical discharge coatings (2018)
Journal Article
Algodi, S. J., Murray, J. W., Brown, P. D., & Clare, A. T. (2018). Wear performance of TiC/Fe cermet electrical discharge coatings. Wear, 402-403, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wear.2018.02.007

The tribological behaviours of TiC-based cermet coatings, prepared by electrical discharge coating (EDC) using a semi-sintered TiC tool electrode, have been investigated. The as-deposited coatings exhibited complex microstructures, comprising TiC gra... Read More about Wear performance of TiC/Fe cermet electrical discharge coatings.
