Journal Article
Qian, L., Xu, F., Voisey, K., Nekouie, V., Zhou, Z., Silberschmidt, V. V., & Hou, X. (2017). Incorporation and evolution of ZrO2 nano-particles in Pt-modified aluminide coating for high temperature applications. Surface and Coatings Technology, 311, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.surfcoat.2016.12.106

ZrO2 nano-particles were incorporated into electro-deposited PtAl coatings in an attempt to enhance their performance by exploiting the effect of reactive element oxides. PtAl coatings with and without ZrO2 particles were deposited onto three commerc...

A super-hydrophobic surface has been obtained from nanocomposite materials based on silica nanoparticles and self-assembled monolayers of 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane (POTS) using spin coating and chemical vapor deposition methods. Scann... Read More about Super-hydrophobic/icephobic coatings based on silica nanoparticles modified by self-assembled monolayers.

Yb3+ doping effects on thermal conductivity and thermal expansion of Yttrium aluminium garnet (2016)
Journal Article
Wang, J., Xu, F., Wheatley, R., Neate, N. C., & Hou, X. (2016). Yb3+ doping effects on thermal conductivity and thermal expansion of Yttrium aluminium garnet. Ceramics International, 42(12), 14228-14235. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ceramint.2016.06.034

Yttrium Aluminium Garnet (YAG) is an attractive candidate as thermal barrier material used for turbine blade in aero engines, due to its relatively low thermal conductivity, low oxygen diffusivity and good phase stability at high temperature. YAG has... Read More about Yb3+ doping effects on thermal conductivity and thermal expansion of Yttrium aluminium garnet.
