Structure, strength and defect characterisation of cement based materials. (2014)
Thesis
CHOUDHURY, A.H. 2014. Structure, strength and defect characterisation of cement based materials. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

In cement based systems, the residual stresses are created by internal expansion. This provides toughening by the release of the residual stresses as the macro-crack propagates. While circumstantial evidence of the residual stresses exist (e.g. micro... Read More about Structure, strength and defect characterisation of cement based materials..

Indigenous capability building as an intervention strategy for sustainable enerby implementation in vulnerable societies. (2014)
Thesis
GARNIATI, L. 2014. Indigenous capability building as an intervention strategy for sustainable enerby implementation in vulnerable societies. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Geospatial regions have different requirements for energy development due to variations in environmental, economic, social, and political constraints which influence their energy demand profiles and generation capacities. These constraints determine... Read More about Indigenous capability building as an intervention strategy for sustainable enerby implementation in vulnerable societies..

Photocatalytic destruction of volatile organic compounds from the oil and gas industry. (2014)
Thesis
TOKODE, O. 2014. Photocatalytic destruction of volatile organic compounds from the oil and gas industry. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Heterogeneous photocatalysis is an advanced oxidation technology widely applied in environmental remediation processes. It is a relatively safe and affordable technology with a low impact on the environment, and has found applications in a number of...

Sizing hybrid green hydrogen energy generation and storage systems (HGHES) to enable an increase in renewable penetration for stabilising the grid. (2014)
Thesis
GAZEY, R.N. 2014. Sizing hybrid green hydrogen energy generation and storage systems (HGHES) to enable an increase in renewable penetration for stabilising the grid. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

A problem that has become apparently growing in the deployment of renewable energy systems is the power grids inability to accept the forecasted growth in renewable energy generation integration. To support forecasted growth in renewable generation i...

Control of surface interactions with ultra-violet/ozone modification at polystyrene surface. (2014)
Thesis
LIANG, H. 2014. Control of surface interactions with ultra-violet/ozone modification at polystyrene surface. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Surface interactions and reactivity are of critical importance in current biomedical technologies, for example, satisfactory cell attachment and long term viability are essential for optimal in vitro tissue culture and for successful implantation and...
