Designing Novel Biopolymer-Based Matrices for Hemostatic and Food Packaging Applications
Published 2026“…Despite identical composition and processing, the hydrogels exhibited markedly different behaviours: cubeshaped constructs showed the highest porosity, swelling capacity, and weight loss together with the lowest yield strength, while columnar constructs displayed the lowest swelling and highest compressive strength, with discs providing an intermediate response. …”

Properties of Western Cape concrete with metakaolin
Published 2019“…The study followed two methodologies; a substantial and critical literature review of the use of metakaolin in concrete, and laboratory investigations on the performance of metakaolin in mortar and concrete. In the literature review, metakaolin was shown to enhance the properties of concrete. …”

Parametric study on the compactibility of Ti-6Al-4V during direct powder rolling
Published 2020“…Average relative green densities of B1 and B2 strips achieved at a roll gap of 1 mm were 77% and 73% respectively. Rolling performance of the B1 powder blend were higher than that of B2, reaching higher green densities and showing superior formability, as rolling at smaller roll gaps was achievable for B1 and not B2. …”
