Polymers, Nanocomposites and Modelling Research Centre
The Polymers, Nanocomposites and Modelling Research Centre is involved in the study of advanced polymeric systems, the application of computer simulation and mathematical modelling to materials challenges, and addresses the efficiency of energy conversion devices
PVD interface studies
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

Auxetic Materials for Sports Impact Protection
This project is focussed on developing new and improved impact protection materials and is part of a wider collaboration with the Centre for Sports Engineering Research and also Manchester Metropolitan University. A process to produce large area or volume isotropic, anisotropic and gradient one-piece auxetic foams is being developed, foams produced and characterised for their mechanical and impact response properties. Significant reductions in peak acceleration are being found for the auxetic foams relative to their conventional counterparts.
