Sir John Walsh Research Institute researcher profile

Wendy Jansen van Vuuren

PositionLecturer
DepartmentDepartment of Oral Rehabilitation
Research summaryDental biomaterials

Research

My research interests lie in the field of mechanical properties and strength testing of dental bio-materials, with a special focus on ceramics and composite materials. My most recent work focuses on fractured ceramics and the conditions leading up to those fractures.
