EC Jetting: Towards the Next Generation of Printing TechnologiesFunding source: EPSRC Engineering and Physical Sciences Research CouncilStart: 15-01-2022 / End: 14-01-2024 Amount: £296,834 Small nozzles, which are used to deposit small volume of liquids, are more prone to clogging and breaking and more difficult to manufacture. This project aims to develop a novel technique to produce jets that are 100 times smaller than the nozzle in size (no need for small nozzles) and printing frequency that is one order of magnitude higher than the natural electrojetting pulsation technique (fast printing). |
Novel capsule based smell test for the assessment of hyposmia/anosmiaFunding source: EPSRC IAA & STFC IAAStart: 01-12-2020 / End: 31-12-2021 Amount: £9,000 This project is to develop a cheap, scalable and rapid smell test for the assessment of hyposmia/anosmia including COVID19 related symptom in humans. The prototype test consists of a standardized number of aromatic oils capsules fabricated by coaxial dripping and placed between adhesive strips that users crush and pull apart to release the smell. |
