Highway runoff, as a nonpoint source, may exert significant pollutant load on the catchment. Finding ways to mitigate nonpoint sources of pollutants is a matter of great concern for improving water quality. It was cited by the Environment Agency in 2005 that more than 80% of Eng…

This thesis focuses on the incorporation of carbon nanoparticles within continuous fibre reinforcements by liquid composite moulding processes, in order to provide enhanced electrical and delamination properties to the multiscale composites. The mechanisms controlling the flow a…

Meltblowing (MB) is a unique one-step process for producing self-bonded fibrous nonwoven membranes directly from polymer resins, with average fiber diameter ranging between 2 and 5 μm. Determining routes for making nano- or submicron-fibers using this process are desirable since…
