Porous and disordered materials
Porous rocks. Bone. Paper. Granular matter.
How do we describe and compare structures of complex materials? How does oil, water, gas, or nuclear waste flow through porous rocks? Why does ink-jet printing give clear and sharp lines on some papers, while it smudges on others. These questions are of enormous interest to both the pure scientific and the industrial communities.
A major shortcoming in the understanding of processes involving complex porous and composite materials has been the inability to accurately characterise the microstructure. Successful predictive modelling of the properties of real materials is reliant on this accurate characterisation. Our group is addressing these issues with a combination of theoretical, computational and experimental skills.
