Abstract
This volume of Chemical Engineering Research collects the unedited research project reports written by 4th-year undergraduates (Class of 2026) of the M.Eng. course on Chemical Engineering in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London.
The research project spans one term (Autumn) during the last year of the career. It emphasises independence, the ability to plan and pursue original project work for an extended period, produce a high-quality report, and present the work to an audience using appropriate visual aids. Students are also expected to produce a literature review and situate their work in the context of prior art. The papers presented showcase the diversity and depth of some of the research streams in the department, but only touch on a small number of research groups and interests. For a complete description of the research at the department, the reader is referred to the departmental website¹.
The papers are presented in no particular order, each identified by a manuscript number. Some papers refer to appendices and/or supplementary materials that are too lengthy to include here. These files can be obtained directly from the supervisors (see the supervisor index at the end of the book). Some reports are missing and are under embargo as they contain confidential information.
The cover figure shows a microscopic (10X) image of alanine crystals in deionized water (from the work of Adam Adan and Aliff Rafiq, manuscript 13).
