Leyland, Adrian - University of Sheffield - Department of Materials Science and Engineering

个人简介

Adrian Leyland is an Honours Graduate of Leeds University (BSc, Materials Science & Engineering, 1985), who joined the Department at the beginning of 2003, having spent the previous 17 years at Hull University, where he obtained his PhD in Plasma Surface Engineering in 1992, from the group of Professor Allan Matthews. He subsequently worked as an Investment Research Fellow in the Research Centre in Surface Engineering at Hull, and as a Lecturer in the Department of Engineering. He is an active member of the Institute of Physics – and former Treasurer (2009-2012) of the Ion and Plasma Surface Interactions (IPSI) Committee of the Institute.

研究领域

Dr Leyland´s main research interests are plasma-based coatings & treatments for surface engineering and tribology, wear & corrosion of surfaces. Coatings and treatments studied include PVD ceramic, metallic and nanocomposite films and hybrid/duplex substrate pre-treatment by diffusion hardening, plasma electrolysis or interlayering (eg. by electroless plating), to improve coating durability. Practical applications for these processing methods range from tribological (friction and wear), through thermal barriers, to high temperature & aqueous corrosion-control – as well as biomedical, optical and other functional property requirements.
