- This methodology for observing lubricant behaviour included a breakthrough technique that has extended the range of measurable thick liquid films, taking it to 1-100 microns from the previous restriction of less than 2 microns. This has enabled more pertinent investigations to be carried out into real-world applications in foods and beverages. The work led to four further journal papers and has instigated new funded research contracts and industry partnerships (Motif: contact: FoEREF@ic.ac.uk, and AB-Inbev: FoEREF@ic.ac.uk), worth £0.5m, to investigate oral tribology of food additives.
