New PhD opportunity: Materials for the future
Thinning, not thickening, fluids optimise protection of glass screens
Thinning, not thickening, fluids optimise protection of glass screens
A collaboration between ECFP and Corning Inc. investigating the link between fluid flow and glass bending in layered systems has uncovered that shear-thinning fluids provide better protection against impact. Such insight could be used to create more durable foldable smartphones.
Protected droplets create a new transport route for medicines
Researchers from several universities, including ECFP, have completed an innovative study which firmly links the structure of microgels to the controlled release of liquid droplets coated in these particles. The discovery could revolutionise methods of targeting medicines to specific locations within the body.
