Associate Professor Sammy Chan conducts research in the field of materials science, with a focus on energy materials and hydrogen storage. His notable contributions include the identification of hydrogen trapping capabilities in microstructures, which enhances understanding of hydrogen embrittlement in steel. He has developed methods for the application of nickel encapsulation in hydrogen storage alloys for improved Ni-MH battery electrodes using a sintering process that enhances conductivity. Additionally, his work in synthesizing nanostructured Ni(OH)2 has resulted in a 30% increase in performance of nickel electrodes. His research on aluminum matrix composites with nano-reinforcements shows that composites with 1% reinforcements have superior tensile properties compared to those with 10% micrometric reinforcements, along with high creep resistance at elevated temperatures. Professor Chan has authored over 75 refereed journal papers and has received recognition as a top 1% highly cited researcher in his field globally. He is also dedicated to education, teaching various courses in nanotechnology and materials engineering, and supervising postgraduate students.
