The Coatings and Surface Engineering research team at the University of Nottingham is carrying out fundamental and applied research into various sprayed coating technologies to enable the next-generation of sustainable materials for reduced CO2 emission and healthcare technologies including:
- Hot Corrosion resistant coatings for Biomass based power generation and gas turbines
- Wear resistant coatings for Nuclear power generation, Aerospace and Industrial gas turbines.
- Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs) and Environmental Barrier Coatings (EBCs) for Aero gas turbines
- Dielectric coatings for electrification of aerospace industry
- Functional coatings for Dye sensitised solar cells and Solid oxide fuel cells
- Thermoelectric and phase change materials for energy harvesting, inclduing Metamaterails
- Biomedical and bioactive coatings for bone integration
- Additive Manufacturing and Repair of Ni-superalloys, precipitation hardenable alloys (Al) using Cold Gas Dynamic Spray
Research themes
The Coatings and Surface Engineering research team is multi-disciplinary in nature and cuts across several research themes in physics, chemistry, advanced materials and manufacturing engineeirng. We work closely with Advanced Materials global research theme (GRT) and Renewable Energy GRT.
Our research can be broadly classified into distinctive themes:
We work across all Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) to deliver bespoke solutions for advanced manufacturing tasks.
Suspension HVOF spraying
Suspension high velocity oxy-fuel spraying of 200 nm alumina in water suspension. UTP Topgun is producing coatings for extreme wear.
