Multifunctional composite

The objective of this project was to develop \(Ti{O_2}\) based multifunctional substrates through silver decoration, while simultaneously enhancing the photocatalytic performance of \(Ti{O_2}\) in the substrate. Employing Ag nanoparticles introduced additional functionality to the system, namely surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), thus enabling the detection of trace amounts of organic molecules prior to their degradation, all with the same substrate.

The aim of this project was to design, fabricate and characterise multifunctional structural composites incorporating phase change materials for thermal management applications. The specific research objectives to achieve this goal were formulated as follows: Investigate effective methods to integrate microencapsulated PCMs into glass fibrereinforced epoxy composites; Evaluate the mechanical properties of micro-PCMs enhanced FRP composites and investigate associated failure mechanisms; Study the thermal management effectiveness of micro-PCMs enhanced FRP composites.
