Journal Article
OKOLIE, O., LATTO, J., FAISAL, N., JAMIESON, H., MUKHERJI, A. and NJUGUNA, J. 2023. Advances in structural analysis and process monitoring of thermoplastic composite pipes. Heliyon [online], 9(7), e17918. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e17918

Thermoplastic composite pipes (TCP) in comparison to other pipes have proven beneficial features due to its flexibility which includes being fit for purpose, lightweight and no corrosion. However, during the manufacturing of TCP which involves the co... Read More about Advances in structural analysis and process monitoring of thermoplastic composite pipes..

Bio-based sustainable polymers and materials: from processing to biodegradation. (2023)
Journal Article
OKOLIE, O., KUMAR, A., EDWARDS, C., LAWTON, L.A., OKE, A., MCDONALD, S., THAKUR, V.K. and NJUGUNA, J. 2023. Bio-based sustainable polymers and materials: from processing to biodegradation. Journal of composites science [online], 7(6), article 213. Available from: https://doi.org/10.3390/jcs7060213

In the life cycle of a material, there will be either chemical or physical change due to varying environmental factors such as biological activity, light, heat, moisture, and chemical conditions. This process leads to polymer property change as perta... Read More about Bio-based sustainable polymers and materials: from processing to biodegradation..

Manufacturing defects in thermoplastic composite pipes and their effect on the in-situ performance of thermoplastic composite pipes in oil and gas applications. (2022)
Journal Article
