Rainforth, W Mark - University of Sheffield - Department of Materials Science and Engineering

个人简介

After obtaining a 1st Class Honours degree from the University of Sheffield, Mark Rainforth initially followed an industrial career. He later joined the Department from the University of Leeds in 1989 and rapidly established state-of-the-art facilities in electron microscopy and tribology. He is co-author of the book Ceramic Microstructures' with W E Lee, a winner of the Rosenhain Medal of the IoM3 and has recently finished his term as President of the Royal Microscopical Society.

研究领域

His research centres on the high resolution characterisation of microstructures, in particular interfaces and surfaces. His research programmes are broadly based and cover metals, ceramics and coatings: Aberration corrected electron microscopy to determine atomic structure and local bonding state, particularly at interfaces in, for example, nanoscale multilayer coatings or functional ceramics Understanding the dynamic microstructural changes that occur as a result of frictional contact, to thereby develop superior materials, for example, next generation hip arthroplasties Surface degeneration phenomena, such as oxidation of metals (including during hot rolling) and hydrothermal degradation of zirconia ceramics Microstructural evolution during the processing of metals, particularly Ti, Mg and steels, aimed at developing new higher strength materials Designing alloys for resource efficiency
