Reactive ion etching of quartz and pyrex for micro electronic applications (2002)
Journal Article
Zeze, D., Forrest, R., Carey, J., Cox, D., Robertson, I., Weiss, B., & Silva, S. (2002). Reactive ion etching of quartz and pyrex for micro electronic applications. Journal of Applied Physics, 92(7), 3624-3629. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.1503167

The reactive ion etching of quartz and Pyrex substrates was carried out using CF4/Ar and CF4/O2 gas mixtures in a combined radio frequency (rf)/microwave (µw) plasma. It was observed that the etch rate and the surface morphology of the etched regions... Read More about Reactive ion etching of quartz and pyrex for micro electronic applications.

Mechanical integrity of compression-moulded ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene : effects of varying process conditions (2002)
Journal Article
Wu, J., Buckley, C., & O'Connor, J. (2002). Mechanical integrity of compression-moulded ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene : effects of varying process conditions. Biomaterials, 23(17), 3773-3783. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0142-9612%2802%2900117-5

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) bearing surfaces in knee and hip prostheses are frequently manufactured by direct compression moulding of the as-polymerised powder. A study was made of the important role of the temperature–time sequ...

Processing of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene : modelling the decay of fusion defects (2002)
Journal Article
Wu, J., Buckley, C., & O'Connor, J. (2002). Processing of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene : modelling the decay of fusion defects. Chemical Engineering Research and Design, 80(A5), 423-431. https://doi.org/10.1205/026387602320224003

A problem in applications of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is the tendency for components to contain fusion defects, arising during processing of the as-polymerized powder. These defects have been implicated previously in failures... Read More about Processing of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene : modelling the decay of fusion defects.

The effect of end-wall profiling on secondary flow and loss development in a turbine cascade (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ingram, G., Gregory-Smith, D., Rose, M., Harvey, N., & Brennan, G. (2002, June). The effect of end-wall profiling on secondary flow and loss development in a turbine cascade. Presented at ASME Turbo Expo 2002 : land, sea and air (GT2002)., Amsterdam, The Netherlands

The potential for loss reduction by using non-axisymmetric end-wall profiling has been demonstrated in the so called “Durham” cascade (Hartland et al [1]) and in a turbine representative rig (Brennan et al [2] and Rose et al [3]). This paper aim to e... Read More about The effect of end-wall profiling on secondary flow and loss development in a turbine cascade.
