Simulation and experimentation of droplets on micro-patterned surfaces
… geometric information of droplets deposited on patterned surfaces. Deformation of the droplet in response to discrete features in the contact plane was examined and quantified on an energy basis. Additionally, quasi-static simulation of relative movement between droplet and substrate was …

Evaluating the use of laser processing and polishing techniques to generate micro-patterned surfaces for controlling fibroblast cell behaviour
The aim of this thesis was to develop novel micro and nano polymer substrates through different surface patterning techniques to compare their effect on human lung fibroblast (LL24) and bovine aorta endothelium (BAE-1) cell behaviours. The cells ability to adhere, proliferate and migrate were …

A constitutive theory for the mechanical response of amorphous metals at high temperatures spanning the glass transition temperature : application to microscale thermoplastic forming of Zr₄₁.₂Ti₁₃.₈Cu₁₂.₅Ni₁₀Be₂₂.₅
… their unique mechanical properties and amorphous microstructure. In recent years, an extremely promising microscale processing method for bulk metallic glasses, called thermoplasticforming has emerged. As with any emerging technology, the scientific basis for this process is at present fragmented …

Colloid phenomena in surface-modified polymer systems.
… of techniques to study modified polymer surfaces. Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) is used throughout this work as an experimental platform for the development of advanced techniques for the characterisation of polymer surfaces and adsorbed protein layers. A new method for the modification …
