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.

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

The simultaneous ingress of acetone and water into dried PVOH-clay nanocomposites containing 2.5 wt% or 5 wt% of well dispersed Na-Cloisite, using FTIR-ATR, was compared with that into pure PVOH films

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

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

Discover how Sheffield Hallam University uses vibrational spectroscopy (FT-IR & Raman) to study hydrogels: tracking polymerisation, cross-linking, water diffusion and degradation. Enabling advanced insight into hydrogel behaviour for biomedical and materials research.

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