Novel High-Performance Coatings- Product and Process Development

Program Overview

This program involves collaborating with Chemical and Materials Engineering departments to develop high-performance coatings and processes. Students will learn analytical techniques to assess coating properties and develop energy-intensive processes. The project is part of a research grant and offers opportunities to work with a multidisciplinary team led by Dr N G Ozcan-Taskin and Dr I Martin-Fabiani-Carrato.

Program Outline

Teaching:

The project involves working with and learning from two different departments, Chemical and Materials Engineering, to develop a high performance coating formulation and associated processing route.

Other:

• The project is part of a research grant between Chemical and Materials Engineering departments.
• The project offers the opportunity to work with a multidisciplinary team of researchers and will be performed in collaboration with both departments.
• The project leader will be Dr N G Ozcan-Taskin and the secondary supervisor will be Dr I Martin-Fabiani-Carrato.
• Research at Loughborough University's Engineering department has been rated as 'world-leading' or 'internationally excellent' (REF, 2021).

UK fee £4,712 Full-time degree per annum International fee £26,000 Full-time degree per annum University fees and charges can be paid in advance and there are several methods of payment, including online payments and payment by instalment. Fees are reviewed annually and are likely to increase to take into account inflationary pressures. The project is self-funded so applicants will be required to cover the cost of tuition fees and their own cost of living.
