Controlling friction for sustainable concrete
ECFP researchers have revealed how friction between microscopic cement grains can prevent the easy flow of fresh, unset concrete. Improving our understanding of these microscale processes will guide efforts to replace cement with more sustainable substitutes.

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.
