Characterisation of dispersions within annealed HVOLF thermally sprayed AlSnCu coatings (2004)
Book Chapter

High velocity oxy-liquid fuel (HVOLF) AlSnCu coatings are characterised following annealing for up to 5 hours at 300°C. A combination of statistical analysis of BSE images and TEM observations demonstrate the decrease in the number of sub-micron and...

The application of tripod polishing and focused ion beam milling to the TEM specimen preparation of HVOF thermally sprayed coatings (2004)
Book Chapter

The microstructure of high velocity oxy fuel thermally sprayed coatings is highly anisotropic and inhomogeneous. Tripod polishing has enabled the preparation of samples with up to 0.5mm diameter electron transparent areas, where a statistically signi...

Scanning electron microscopy of biomaterials (2004)
Book Chapter

A comparison of conventional high vacuum scanning electron microscopy (HVSEM), environmental SEM (ESEM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) in the assessment of cell-material interactions is made. The processing of cells cultured for conven... Read More about Scanning electron microscopy of biomaterials.

Structural characterisation of carbon nanotubes in the presence of a Ni catalyst (2004)
Book Chapter

Multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) grown by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) of an ethene / hydrogen gas mixture on alumina supported and unsupported nickel catalysts for 10, 20 and 120 minutes at 600oC and 700oC are compared. Nano-scale nickel part... Read More about Structural characterisation of carbon nanotubes in the presence of a Ni catalyst.
