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.

Melt-processed PLA/HA platelet nanoparticle composites produced using tailored dispersants
Conference Proceeding
Parsons, A. J., Walton, K., Hild, F., Ilchev, A., Gimeno-Fabra, M., Tomczynska, M. M., …Irvine, D. J. (in press). Melt-processed PLA/HA platelet nanoparticle composites produced using tailored dispersants.

Hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles, similar to those seen in the structure of human bone, have been produced via hydrothermal synthesisand used to produce nanocomposite materials via melt blending with poly(lactic acid)(PLA). Both of these processes a... Read More about Melt-processed PLA/HA platelet nanoparticle composites produced using tailored dispersants.
