Issues of tacit knowledge within 3D printing for artists, designers and makers (2014)
Journal Article
Hoskins, S. (2014). Issues of tacit knowledge within 3D printing for artists, designers and makers

The creative industries are directly interfacing with 3D printing technology and how it is changing the practices of many artists and designers across the globe. However for the creative community it is not possible to take on a new manufacturing tec... Read More about Issues of tacit knowledge within 3D printing for artists, designers and makers.

Digital creation of hand engraved copper plates to secure a historic process (2014)
Journal Article
Hoskins, S. (2014). Digital creation of hand engraved copper plates to secure a historic process

Underglaze tissue ceramic transfer printing was first developed circa 1750 and involved the use of engraved or etched copper plates, from which a wet strength tissue paper was printed with an oxide (commonly cobalt for blue colour) the famous ‘Will...

Amperometric, screen-printed, glucose biosensor for analysis of human plasma samples using a biocomposite water-based carbon ink incorporating glucose oxidase (2005)
Journal Article
Crouch, E., Cowell, D. C., Hoskins, S., Pittson, R. W., & Hart, J. P. (2005). Amperometric, screen-printed, glucose biosensor for analysis of human plasma samples using a biocomposite water-based carbon ink incorporating glucose oxidase. Analytical Biochemistry, 347(1), 17-23. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ab.2005.08.011

This paper describes the optimisation of a screen-printing water-based carbon ink containing cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPC) and glucose oxidase (GOD) for the fabrication of a glucose biosensor. To optimise the performance of the biosensor, the loadings...
