Our research in this specialist area focuses on the improvement of materials properties through the development of novel ceramic composites. Using some of most advanced techniques and equipment, we have been improving wear resistance, strength, fracture toughness, corrosion resistance and reducing weight.

MERI is renowned for the development of nanoscale multilayer Physical Vapour Deposited (PVD) coatings and for the development of the HIPIMS technique

The characterisation of polymers requires the use of several analytical techniques to gather the required information about a polymer's structure or chemistry.

We have a strong track record and reputation in the field of infrastructure management and development. Our aim is to apply that range of knowledge to deliver client focused and practical everyday solutions

Shape Memory Polymers (SMP), as their title suggest, have the intriguing ability to change from a temporary intermediate shape back to their fixed, permanent shape

We have brought together robotics related research, teaching and consultancy in order to create a focal point where diverse robotics and automation projects are developed alongside each other

The PCAS group have developed a number of materials for use in the biomedical arena

The Materials and Fluid Flow Modelling Group is involved in the computer simulation and mathematical modelling of a range of materials and related materials processing techniques

We have a range of methods that can be used to analyse polymers, minerals and organic-inorganic complexes

We have a substantial range of different sampling accessories which, when used in conjunction with the state of the art infrared spectrometers, can provide valuable information about the material under investigation
