Light-driven actuation in synthetic polymers: A review from fundamental concepts to applications (2022)
Journal Article
Bhatti, M. R. A., Kernin, A., Tausif, M., Zhang, H., Papageorgiou, D., Bilotti, E., …Bastiaansen, C. W. (2022). Light-driven actuation in synthetic polymers: A review from fundamental concepts to applications. Advanced Optical Materials, 10(10), Article 2102186. https://doi.org/10.1002/adom.202102186

Light-driven actuation of synthetic polymers is an emerging field of interest because it offers simple remote addressing without complicated hydraulic, electric, or magnetic systems. Reviews on this area predominantly emphasize on the development of... Read More about Light-driven actuation in synthetic polymers: A review from fundamental concepts to applications.

Embodied carbon mitigation and reduction in the built environment – What does the evidence say? (2016)
Journal Article
Pomponi, F., & Moncaster, A. (2016). Embodied carbon mitigation and reduction in the built environment – What does the evidence say?. Journal of Environmental Management, 181, 687-700. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2016.08.036

Of all industrial sectors, the built environment puts the most pressure on the natural environment, and in spite of significant efforts the International Energy Agency suggests that buildings-related emissions are on track to double by 2050. Whilst o... Read More about Embodied carbon mitigation and reduction in the built environment – What does the evidence say?.
