Professor Hua-Xin Peng

My research interests lie in the engineering of composite/multiphase materials by tailoring their structures at the nano-, micro- and meso-scales to meet specific engineering applications. This includes the exploration of the latest advances in nanotechnology which opens a new horizon in the application of materials such as polymeric nanocomposite coatings for carbon fibre composite components.  Research into novel composites and microstructures involves (i) development of ferromagnetic microwire (meta-)composites for a range of innovative engineering applications such as structural health monitoring; (ii) hierachical approach to composites microstructures; and (iii) novel applications of actuating shape memory materials.
