Overview

James Thomason is affiliated with the University of Strathclyde in the United Kingdom. Their research primarily spans the fields of engineering and materials science, with a focus on mechanical engineering, mechanics of materials, and polymers and plastics. Their work addresses topics such as the mechanical behavior of composites, fiber-reinforced polymer composites, natural fiber reinforced composites, epoxy resin curing processes, and polymer crystallization and properties.

Their recent publications reflect an emphasis on composite materials and polymer behaviors under various conditions. Notable papers include:

  • Thermal degradation behaviour of natural fibres at thermoplastic composite processing temperatures, 2021, Polymer Degradation and Stability
  • A review of the analysis and characterisation of polymeric glass fibre sizings, 2020, Polymer Testing
  • Hydrothermal Ageing of Glass Fibre Reinforced Vinyl Ester Composites: A Review, 2023, Polymers
  • An overview of some scaling issues in the sample preparation and data interpretation of the microbond test for fibre-matrix interface characterisation, 2022, Polymer Testing
  • The dependence of interfacial shear strength on temperature and matrix chemistry in glass fibre epoxy composites, 2022, Composites Part A Applied Science and Manufacturing

James Thomason frequently publishes in venues such as IOP Conference Series Materials Science and Engineering, Composite Interfaces, Composites Part A Applied Science and Manufacturing, Polymer Testing, and Micro.

Collaboration is a noted part of their work, with recurring coauthors including Georgios Xypolias, Liu Yang, José Luis Rudeiros Fernández, David Bryce, and Ross F. Minty.
