Product development
The Centre for Infrastructure Management provides research and development (R&D) expertise to industry (especially SMEs) to develop innovative and novel products which enable the companies to maintain a lead market position.
Dementia and Robots
Researchers at Sheffield Hallam University have been looking into a robotic solution to help people with advancing dementia to maintain safe exercise regimes
Fire retardant unsaturated polyester nanocomposites
The ability of well-dispersed organomodified clays to enhance the fire retardency of thermoplastic polymers is well established, but thermoset polyester has received relatively little attention
Simulation of Supramolecular Structures
Using the same types of simulation on other choices of simple particle systems, we have developed a specific expertise in observing the development of soft triply-periodic structures such as the Gyroid
Computer Simulation of Liquid Crystals
We have extensive experience of simulating liquid crystalline behaviour at a range of length-scales. At a molecular scale, we have developed a particular expertise in mixture systems and in anchoring at patterned substrates
