The following paper with co-authors from BHR Group, Dr G. Ozcan-Taskin and Dr W. Eagles (Former BHR Group's engineer) has been recognised in the "Top-75 most cited articles" as published in the IChemE journals 2006- 2009.


"Dispersion of nano-particle clusters using mixed flow and high shear impellers in stirred tanks"
L. Xie C.D. Rielly W. Eagles G. Özcan-Taskin
Chemical Engineering Research and Design, Volume 85, Issue 5 A (2007), Pages 676-684


This publication is based on the work carried out within PROFORM (NMP4-CT-2004-505654)- a collaborative project which BHR Group undertook with 9 other partners with partial funding from FP6 of the EC.

Functionally Dispersed NanoparticlesNANOPARTICLE DISPERSION

BHR Group’s ground-breaking work on the incorporation and dispersion of nanoparticles in liquids is leading to enhanced product performance and quality across a wide range of industrial ctors.
