Current Research

I am currently working on demonstrating the effectiveness of incorporating self-healing capsules into the asphalt surface layer to increase the lifespan of roads and offer an alternative method for road maintenance. Trials will take place at Nottingham University using an accelerated pavement testing (APT) machine and onsite testing on the M25 motorway and quarry. In addition, this research will evaluate how self-healing materials have the potential to deliver significant cost savings for road maintenance.
