Low-cost thin film solar cell
A research opportunity for postgraduate students providing training and experience in a wide range of topics related to the development of solar cells. They will also carry out this research in their home universities and start to replicate 'solar villages' in their own countries after completion of their PhD programme
Expertise in clay-based polymer nanocomposites
We have extensive experience of incorporating clays into a range of petroleum derived polymers including polypropylene, polyamide, polyacrylates, polycaprolactone, polyvinylalcohol as well as biopolymers including starch, polylactic acid, chitosan and gelatin
Understanding the failure mechanisms of coatings on contaminated steel substrates
The project will determine the method by which coatings on contaminated surfaces fail through the development of protocols
Construction Materials
A summary of our research regarding construction materials
Evaluating and testing the comparative thermal performance of reflective and multifoil insulations
In the absence of a standard thermal conductivity test for thermo reflective insulants, we are able to evaluate and test the comparative thermal performance of reflective and multifoil insulations
Ceramic materials and powders
We offer a full service for the analysis and characterisation of ceramic materials. Our unique combination of materials characterisation and analysis equipment, together with our team of expert and experienced staff in materials research, allows us to deliver the results you require
