Dr Alma Hodzic

(Department of Mechanical Engineering)

Research interests: Development of link between fracture toughness and nano/micro properties of multiphase materials, composites. Development of novel nano-hardness techniques so as to be suitable for measurement of thin coatings and interface/interphase regions in composite and multiphase materials on a nano-level. Development of environmentally friendly materials, (green composites) to replace standard fossil fuel based plastics used in the packaging industry. Design and development of new generation of aerospace composites to resist high shear, compressive and bending stresses in large civil aircraft. Hybrid composites and nanocomposites.
