25.01.2022 Please join us at the annual Materials Australia CMatP presentations next week, hosted by UOW. Please see the attached invitation. Everyone is welcome and attendance is free. https://www.materialsaustralia.com.au/BookingRetrieve.aspx

25.01.2022 There's a MMMB seminar next week by Prof. Chris Berndt, who works on surface engineering for advanced materials at Swinburne University, 11:30-12:30 on Tuesday ...22nd October. The topic is "Compositions and Mechanical Properties of Baghdadite and Hydroxyapatite Coatings Manufactured by Atmospheric Plasma Spraying". There'll be a free lunch too, so feel free to go along if you're interested. The description is as follows: Baghdadite (Ca3ZrSi2O9) (BAG) is a calcium silicate (Ca-Si) based ceramic with osteostimulatory function, biocompatibility and chemical stability. BAG, in its bulk form, can promote adhesion, growth and osteogenic differentiation of stem cells; hence enhancing the proliferation of human osteoblasts (HOBs) as well as promote the activity of osteoclasts. BAG exhibits a high compressive strength, bending strength, hardness and fracture toughness that can be a potential candidate for applications of orthopaedic implants. This work studies atmospheric plasma sprayed (APS) BAG coatings and evaluates their hardness and moduli against APS hydroxyapatite (HAp) coatings. Surface roughness of BAG is more consistent with less variation than the roughness of HAp coating. Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) technique presents features, which less varied in values and sizes in BAG coating than that of HAp coating. The presence of zirconium in BAG increased the microhardness, as well as the hardness and elastic moduli derived from nanoindentation measurements, when contrasted with the equivalent properties of HAp coatings.

23.01.2022 The Intelligent Polymer Research Institute (IPRI) on the UOW Innovation Campus has research opportunities available for PhD candidates in the fields of Advanced Materials, Advanced Fabrication, Chemical Fuels and Electrical Stimulation of Biological Systems.

18.01.2022 Do you want to hug a robot? UOW Materials and METSOC recently hosted a TechTalk featuring Charbel Tawk from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Electromaterial Science at the University of Wollongong. Charbel presented his research on recent innovations in soft robotics and the development of 3D printable soft actuators and sensors. His bioinspired 3D printable soft vacuum actuators can be used for locomotion robots, grippers and artificial muscles. #uowmaterials #ACES #3dprinting #softrobotics #bioinspired

16.01.2022 International Welding Engineers & International Welding Technologists play a vital role in industry - they understand the factors that influence welding quality..., cost and productivity of welding related activities. This qualification could be the X factor that makes you stand out as a candidate for large scale welding projects, both in Australia and around the world. Enrol today for September intake. https://portal.weldaustralia.com.au/course-timetable/
