Journal Article
Owoseni, T., Murray, J., Pala, Z., Lester, E., Grant, D., & Hussain, T. (2018). Suspension high velocity oxy-fuel (SHVOF) spray of delta-theta alumina suspension: Phase transformation and tribology. Surface and Coatings Technology, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.surfcoat.2018.08.047

Suspension high-velocity oxy-fuel (SHVOF) thermal spray is an emerging spray technology that enables the processing of nanometric feedstock. Although SHVOF thermal sprayed alumina coatings prepared from alpha alumina feedstock have been widely report...

Application of ZnO nanoparticles in a self-cleaning coating on a metal panel: an assessment of environmental benefits (2017)
Journal Article
Stieberova, B., Zilka, M., Ticha, M., Freiberg, F., Caramazana-Gonzalez, P., McKechnie, J., & Lester, E. (2017). Application of ZnO nanoparticles in a self-cleaning coating on a metal panel: an assessment of environmental benefits. ACS Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering, 5(3), 2493-2500. https://doi.org/10.1021/acssuschemeng.6b02848

This article is focused on assessing environmental benefits of a self-cleaning coating (SCCs) containing nanoparticles (NPs) applied on metal panels. ZnO NPs are incorporated in the coating to enhance the level of hydrophobicity, which enables a dram...
