Extreme environments

We investigate the structure and processes of materials, including ceramics and alloys, using extreme environments for applications in aerospace and energy. This includes materials that can withstand extreme heat, corrosion and pressures. 

Our research explores:

• Materials for the next generation of nuclear technologies
• Developing electrode and electrolyte materials for energy conversion and storage devices
• Engineering alloys for safer, lower emissions air transport and energy systems
• The environmental degradation of engineering alloys
• Developing new processing techniques for the fabrication of ceramic-based composites
