Composites and Coatings group

The composites and coatings group is headed by Professor T. W. Clyne. Particular research interests within the group include thermal spray and plasma electrolytic oxide coatings, metallic fibre network materials, micro-mechanical characterisation of various materials and structures and magneto-mechanical actuation for bone growth stimulation.

A wide range of experimental techniques are employed by the group, coupled with extensive analytical and numerical modelling of various transport phenomena and mechanical behaviour.
