Infrastructure management
Our Centre for Infrastructure Management (CIM) has a strong track record and reputation in the fields of environmental protection, infrastructure management and materials and recycling solutions
Auxetic Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering
This project is a collaboration between the Biomolecular Sciences Research Centre (BMRC) and MERI, initially funded by SCH, with further funding via a SHU VC PhD scholarship matched by an external biomedical devices company. The overarching aim of the project is to develop a range of ‘auxetic’ porous scaffolds for eventual tissue engineering applications, which mimic the mechanical properties of soft tissues, promote migration, adhesion and differentiation of cells, and enable delivery of bioactive components.
Polymers and Nanocomposites
The interests of the Polymers, Composites and Spectroscopy Group (PCAS) encompass polymers, minerals and composites
Coatings Analysis
We offer a complete coating development package giving a choice of composition, architecture (monolayer or multilayers) and PVD deposition techniques to suit specific needs.
Engineering Expert Witness Services
The range of skills and expertise available makes MERI an excellent place to start a search for expert witness services. We have delivered for clients requiring services in forensic science and engineering across a range of technical subjects.
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.
Sustainability and process simulation
Sustainable technologies require significant investments of time and money. These investments must pay back within reasonable time scales
Process Modelling and Simulation
If you are looking to improve processes in order to maximise service levels to your customers, reduce operating costs or eliminate bottlenecks, but need to understand what the impacts of these changes before implementing them, process modelling and simulation could be the perfect solution
Materials modelling and complex flows
All the work undertaken for our clients includes developing new methods to deal with problems which currently lie outside the scope of proprietary software and simulating complex materials and systems using our extant methods
