"Let's make heat capture the new recycling" WATCH Professor Mary Ryan FREng at the World Economic Forum 2016
We investigate materials which can improve our environment and encourage sustainable practices for the future, supporting the environmental goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050. We also look into the risk of microplastics and pollutants on the environment and the human body.
Our research explores:
- Materials for environmental remediation
- Nuclear fuels and waste
- Green synthesis of valuable chemicals and polymers
- Mechanisms that lead to human/environmental toxicity (nanostructures)
- Radiation damage (nuclear)
- Cladding and waste form behaviour and performance
- Developing batteries to degrade by gas evolution
- Mitigating plastic pollution
