Research experience
Research areas are in the broad areas of: Natural polymer hydrogels and fibrous materials for medical and dental applications, including wound dressings, guided bone regeneration membranes and 'smart' vehicles for diagnosis and treatment Glass-ceramics and polymeric materials as bioactive porous scaffolds for hard tissue repair and regeneration Selected areas in Dental Materials, including the characterisation of conventional and translucent zirconia and zirconia materials, the development and characterisation of novel dental composites, and characterisation of materials for endodontics. This is coupled with an interest in materials and processes in the digital workflow.
