Thermal energy storage is a major contributor to bridge the gap between energy demand (consumption) and energy production (supply) by concentrating solar power. The utilization of high latent heat storage capability of phase change materials is one of the keys to an efficient wa…

In this thesis Graphit-iC™, an amorphous carbon coating developed by Teer Coatings Ltd. was modified and deposited onto CoCr and WHMWPE substrates in order to improve the wear properties. It was identified that depositing a hard coating onto soft substrate would cause high stres…

Laser metal deposition is one of the most versatile methods in the expanding field of additive manufacturing. Its outstanding advantage is its capability to process a variety of metallic materials for the freeform fabrication of objects having sound mechanical properties. The pr…
