The aim of this project is to show how functionality (in particular adhesion and corrosion resistance) of a coated system depends on the interface between coating and substrate

Meet the staff of the Ceramics & Glass Research Group at Sheffield Hallam University’s Polymers, Nanocomposites & Modelling Research Centre. Experts in cutting-edge ceramics, glass, composites and materials modelling.

In collaboration with the Instituto de Cienncia y Tecnologia de Polimeros (Madrid) we have examined the extent of the surface modification of a polymeric membrane. The polymer (PVC) was modified according to the following reaction scheme

The SUREFIRE project was undertaken to develop a brand-new class of materials that provide strength, stiffness, hardness and fire performance properties to compete with conventional materials such as steel or concrete.

Design and development of an innovative eco-efficient low-substrate flexible paper packaging from renewable resources to replace petroleum-based barrier films

Innovation and sustainable development in the Fibre based packaging value chain

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

PRONACOM was designed to promote integration between complementary scientific communities and encourage more efficient use of resources

Combining swelling clays with certain types of polymers and plasticisers, to form sustainable coatings, results in a significant increase of barrier properties as well as flexibility and durability

The objective of this project is to bind sand grains together whilst maintaining formation porosity and fluid flow
