Units indexed by faculty Master of Engineering Science (Research) and Doctor of PhilosophyCourse codes: 1226; 0037 + Course abbreviations: MEngSc(Res); PhD Study mode and course locationOn-campus (Clayton) Course descriptionSuitably qualified graduates in engineering or science may undertake studies in the School of Physics and Materials Engineering towards the degrees of Master of Engineering Science (Research) and Doctor of Philosophy in one of six research programs: ceramics engineering, metal forming, corrosion engineering, physical metallurgy, polymer engineering and surface engineering. Candidates for the degrees of Doctor of Philosophy or Master of Engineering Science (Research) undertake full-time supervised research work. The major current research activities in the school include properties of engineering plastics, rubbers and adhesives; polymer alloys and blends; polymer viscoelasticity; solvent and gas permeability in polymers; ageing of polymers; thermosets; liquid crystalline and hyperbranched polymers; conducting polymers and blends; polymer composites; elastomers; sol-gel, polymer-ceramic nanocomposites; corrosion and corrosion protection; damage and remanent life in engineering materials; electrical and magnetic properties of alloys; ultra-high-strength aluminium alloys; cast light alloys; light alloy design; thermo-mechanical processing of steels; metals and metal forming; morphology and deformation modelling and simulation; stress analysis; wear, erosion and lifetime assessment of metals and ceramics; metal-matrix composites; solidification processing; biomaterials; refractories; structural ceramics; ceramic processing; ceramic powder processing; thermal sprayed coatings; properties of surface coatings and films; mechanical properties of ceramics; solid electrolyte materials; fuel cell materials; analytical and high resolution electron microscopy; and atom probe field ion microscopy; corrosion of materials; nanotube science; tissue engineering; and nanotechnology. Further details of the school’s excellent research facilities and ongoing research projects are available on request from the school.
