Expertise Summary

David Grant studied Physics at the University of York in 1981. He obtained a PhD in 1984 for his research on permeation studies of hydrogen in steels and the effect of surface oxides while at the Oxford Research Unit of the Open University. He then spent three years at the National Research Council of Canada in the Division of Chemistry as a post doctoral Research Associate working on metal hydride systems. He returned to the UK for a research position at the Oxford Research Unit investigating the surface tension of electromagnetically levitated molten metals. He joined Nottingham University as a Lecturer in Materials in 1990 and started the Biomaterials group while working on coatings and shape memory materials. Senior lecturer in 1996. Reader in Materials Science in 1999. In 2004 he was appointed Prof of Materials Science. He heads the Bioengineering group and has wide ranging research interests in Biomaterials such as surface modification, coatings, functionalised surfaces, characterisation, composite structures, degradation behaviour, cell surface interaction, cell motility. His other main research interest is in metal hydrogen systems from alloy and intermetallic hydrides to complex light metal hydrides and carbons.

Current Research

I have a wide interest in Materials science and I have a reserach group in Biomaterials working on novel coatings and structures using physical vapour deposition, new approaches to degradable composites for bone integration, degradation behaviour and mechanical behaviour of isotropic and anisotropic structures/composites tissue engineering, nanocomposites and biopolymers, toxicity and cell surface interactions of nanoparticles, functionalised surfaces using nanoparticles and organic structures, proteomics, cell motility studies and uretic stent encrustation. The latter two involving exciting modelling with the Centre of Mathematical Medicine. Currently funded by EC ( STREP), EPSRC, BBSRC and industry.

My other main research area is in hydrogen storage systems working on light metal hydrides and complex systems, catalysts for metal hydride systems and novel carbon structures from nanofibres to nanocones. Currently funded by EPSRC SUPERGEN, EC (STREP) and Marie Curie and we are also an active member of the world group of IEA task 22 Fundamental and Applied Hydrogen Storage Materials.

Both research areas have established research links with laboratories in the EU, USA , China and Japan.

Future Research

Future research will continue to develop the novel structures in biomaterials, several of which are of commercial interest. The modelling work with the Centre for Mathematical Medicine has provided unique research opportunities which I intend to develop further. Nanotoxicity is a key issue and nanostructural analysis of the cell surface interlayer will be developed further as we have a new EPSRC project starting in this area. In a related area there are collaborations with nanotoxicologist experts from Edinburgh. We have developing projects with the Centre for biomolecular Sciences with materials for osteochondral repair using stem and modified structures/surface for anti-microbial applications..

Currently development of PVD coatings through collaboration with eminate Ltd (a spin out of the univeristy in the nanotechnology area) is a strong area with coatings for the medical and food industry and new directions in complex hydride development using graded structures.

In hydrogen storage systems the light metal hydrides and complex hydrides with catalysts will form the immediate future with collaborations in EU, Japan, China and USA. The SUPERGEN grant has been reknewed and we have projects funded by the UK and EC. It is anticipated that this research will continue to expand with the Hydrogen Storage Group developing further its international profile.
