Abstract: The invention provides a method of sequential pyrolysis and carbon deposition to produce a composite carbonaceous product, the method comprising: a pyrolysis process step comprising pyrolyzing a pyrolyzable organic feed at a pyrolysis temperature in a first reaction zone in the presence of a non-oxidising gas to produce hot char and pyrolysis gas, wherein the pyrolysis gas and the non-oxidising gas combine to form a gas mixture; discharging the gas mixture from the first reaction zone to a combustion zone and combusting at least a portion of the pyrolysis gas therein, wherein heat produced by the combusting of the pyrolysis gas is transmitted from the combustion zone to the first reaction zone to provide at least a portion of the heat of pyrolysis; and a decomposition process step comprising contacting a hydrocarbon-rich organic gas with the hot char directly after its production in the pyrolysis process step, wherein the hydrocarbon-rich organic gas catalytically decomposes on the hot char at a decomposition temperature which is higher than the pyrolysis temperature, thereby producing gaseous decomposition products comprising hydrogen and a composite carbonaceous material comprising the char with carbon deposits thereon.

Abstract: Disclosed is a concrete product incorporating rubber aggregate produced by casting under pressure. The concrete product may optionally be cast at 6.9-27.7 MPa for periods of, for example, 24 hours. In one embodiment the rubber aggregate may comprise coarse and/or fine rubber aggregate to replace natural sources of coarse and fine aggregate. Casting under pressure was found to generally improve the performance characteristics of the concrete when compared to corresponding concrete cast without pressure.

Abstract: A method for producing a customised orthopaedic implant is provided. The method involves scanning a bone from which a diseased region of bone will be resected to obtain a three dimensional digital image of an unresected volume of bone; scanning the bone after a diseased region of bone has been resected to obtain a corresponding three dimensional digital image of a resected volume of bone; and comparing the three dimensional digital image of the unresected volume of bone to the corresponding three dimensional digital image of the resected volume of bone to estimate a volume of bone that has been resected. The estimate of the volume of bone that has been resected is used to design a customised orthopaedic implant that substantially corresponds to the configuration of the resected volume of bone, the implant being configured to substantially restore a biomechanical function of the bone. Finally the customised orthopaedic implant is manufactured and provided for insertion into the resected region of bone.

Abstract: Method for fabricating a crystalline vanadium oxide (VO2) film comprising the steps of: a) depositing an amorphous VO2 film on a substrate by pulsed DC magnetron sputtering using a vanadium target, wherein the substrate is exposed to a sputtering gas comprising an inert process gas and oxygen (O2), and the substrate has a temperature of less than about 50° C.; and b) annealing the deposited amorphous VO2 film to crystallise the amorphous VO2 film into a crystalline VO2 film that exhibits an insulator-metal transition. The disclosed method for fabricating a crystalline VO2 film may be suitable for a broad range of substrates.

Abstract: This invention provides a highly-selective and sensitive Nitrogen oxide gas sensor based on the resistive transducing platforms using two-dimensional (2D) tin disulphide (SnS2) flakes that can operate below 150° C. This sensor operates based on the physisorption of nitrogen oxide on the surface of the sensitive layer. The fabrication of the sensors is low-cost. The tin disulphide is preferably produced by reacting tin dichloride at elevated temperature with powdered sulphur in a liquid phase to form tin disulphide nano particles and separating the tin disulphide nano particles from the liquid phase.
