Sustainability
Sustainability, also referred to as “sustainable development”, is the ability to maintain or support a process over time related to economic, environmental, and social factors. At MET, we develop resource efficient fabrication methods and new advanced analysis tools with reduced environmental footprints.
Below you can find the projects carried out by individual researchers within our Division that are addressing this global challenge:
Development of a 3D-printable and degradable polymeric material for composite implants
Applications of polymer-graphene composites in biomedical engineering through additive manufacturing
Rare-earth-free magnesium metallic glasses enabled by additive manufacturing
Design of a high strength biomedical Zn alloy suitable for powder bed fusion-laser beam processing
The next generation multifunctional nanomaterials for personalised wound healing
Controlling the degradation rate of 3D printed Mg porous implants
Acoustic particle focusing in droplet microfluidics
Plant-on-a-chip to unravel plant cell fate
Acoustic manipulation of droplets and microparticles
The effect of continuous phase fluid on acoustic particle focusing in droplet microfluidics
Microfluidic platform for controlled generation and culture of human cerebral organoids
