Thermal Spray Week
21, 22, 23 and 24 March 2022, UK London Time
DSMN+ Thermal Spray Week
EPSRC NetworkPlus in Digitalised Surface Manufacturing celebrates its 3rd annual anniversary in March 2022 and will host the world leaders and pioneers to discuss the future of Thermal Spray technologies and evaluate role of the technology in achieving Net Zero by adopting digitalisation. The Made Smarter report estimated benefits of adopting Industrial Digital Technologies to be upto £455bn in next decade for UK manufacturing sector. Thermal spraying is estimated to be a £7.5 billion market worldwide and it is poised to grow to about £20 billion by 2027. The findings from the event will contribute to the formulation of white paper necessary to develop new policies and lay foundation to a roadmap for research, innovation and cross-sectoral collaboration in this important area of manufacturing given the imminent concern of climate change.
The event will bring together experts from international centres of excellence from countries such as Australia, Canada and world leading organisations from USA, India and Middle-East. The event is designed to spread over a week to maximise inclusion from each country based on their convenient time zone allowing stronger participation from both industry and academia in their respective countries.

DSM Webinar- 24 Sept 2021
24 Sept 2021, 1-2 pm, UK BST
Speaker: Ahu Gumrah Parry
Bioinspired hierarchical materials and composites
Abstract- Nature has mastered manufacturing hierarchical materials using supra-molecular organization of small building blocks using the most abundant elements such as Carbon, Silicon, Calcium, Magnesium, Oxygen and Nitrogen. Most common structures in nature like skeletal or soft tissue constructions as well as non-living mineral matter organization stems from the shapes and interfaces at nanoscale creating a fascinating array of multifunctional and multipurpose materials. Ahu’s research aims to understand and stimulate material interactions from molecular level to nano and macro level interfaces and therefore develop new materials with novel optical and mechanical properties. In this talk Ahu will focus on surface interactions in natural adaptive materials and our approaches to mimic and fabricate such hierarchical surfaces for antifouling and anti-microbial surfaces.
