The Nanomechanical Testing and Characterisation of Anti-viral Nano-structured Surface Coatings

Singh I., Allan P.S., Brunel University, UK

Surface coatings of nanoparticles that possess antiviral properties have been tested by a nano scratch method for their adhesive strength to metallic and polymeric substrates. The deformed coatings were observed in an SEM and values [...]

Nano-mechanical testing of Novel bioactive carbon nanotubes/HAP nano particles composite coatings

Singh I., Allan P., Brunel University, UK

Hydroxyapatite (HAP) is an important material for biomedical implants, as its chemical composition is similar to that of bone tissue. Synthetic HAP is a biocompatible prosthetic material, bonding strongly to the bone and promoting the [...]
