Comparative ageing behaviour of commercial, unworn and worn 3Y-TZP and zirconia-toughened alumina hip joint heads. (2012)
Journal Article
Douillard, T., Chevalier, J., Descamps-Mandine, A., Warner, I., Galais, Y., Whitaker, P., …Wang, Q. (2012). Comparative ageing behaviour of commercial, unworn and worn 3Y-TZP and zirconia-toughened alumina hip joint heads. Journal of the European Ceramic Society, 32(8), 1529-1540. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jeurceramsoc.2012.01.003

There is a trend today to develop zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA) composites for orthopaedic applications. So far, there is limited data concerning their sensitivity to ageing, especially considering tests performed on implants produced on an indust...

Modelling of permeability loss in membrane filtration: Re-examination of fundamental fouling equations and their link to critical flux (2011)
Journal Article
Field, R., & Wu, J. (2011). Modelling of permeability loss in membrane filtration: Re-examination of fundamental fouling equations and their link to critical flux. Desalination, 283, 68-74. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.desal.2011.04.035

A re-evaluation of the flux decline relationships in the appendix of the 1995 critical flux paper has failed to establish that one may have a critical flux in the presence of fouling that is represented by the “complete” pore blocking (n = 2) mode. I... Read More about Modelling of permeability loss in membrane filtration: Re-examination of fundamental fouling equations and their link to critical flux.

Wear and surface analysis of 38 mm ceramic-on-metal total hip replacements under standard and severe wear testing conditions (2011)
Journal Article
Williams, S., Wu, J., Unsworth, A., & Khan, I. (2011). Wear and surface analysis of 38 mm ceramic-on-metal total hip replacements under standard and severe wear testing conditions. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 225(8), 783-796. https://doi.org/10.1177/0954411911404773

The purpose of this study was to compare the wear of zirconia-toughened alumina (ZTA) and alumina femoral heads tested against as-cast CoCrMo alloy acetabular cups under both standard and severe wear conditions. A new severe test, which included medi... Read More about Wear and surface analysis of 38 mm ceramic-on-metal total hip replacements under standard and severe wear testing conditions.

Oxidation and fusion defects synergistically accelerate polyethylene failure in knee replacement (2011)
Journal Article
Wu, J., Augustine, A., Holland, J., & Deehan, D. (2012). Oxidation and fusion defects synergistically accelerate polyethylene failure in knee replacement. The Knee, 19(2), 124-129. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.knee.2011.01.004

We have previously reported upon a cohort of patients with premature failure of such material and postulated upon the impact of abnormally high concentrations of type 2 fusion defects whereby there is a lack of particle cohesion due to incomplete dif...

Preparation of emulsion-templated porous polymers using thiol–ene and thiol–yne chemistry (2010)
Journal Article
Lovelady, E., Kimmins, S., Wu, J., & Cameron, N. (2011). Preparation of emulsion-templated porous polymers using thiol–ene and thiol–yne chemistry. Polymer Chemistry, 2(3), 559-562. https://doi.org/10.1039/c0py00374c

Highly porous polymeric materials are prepared by thiol–ene and thiol–yne mediated network formation using high internal phase emulsion templates. The efficiency of network formation is between 80 and 90% for all materials while the thiol–yne materia...
