High Performance Computing - Beowulf Cluster
High performance computing clusters are used to solve advanced analytical, numerical and computational problems. Uses for high performance range from data storage and analysis, simulations, modelling, data mining, software development and fast mathematical calculations
Characterisation of polymers and nanocomposites
The characterisation of polymers requires the use of several analytical techniques to gather the required information about a polymer's structure or chemistry.
Characterisation of polymers, minerals and organic-inorganic complexes
We have a range of methods that can be used to analyse polymers, minerals and organic-inorganic complexes
Repair and rehabilitation solutions
Our research in this area is designed to enable us to condition monitor, inspect and survey infrastructure, e.g. bridges, buildings, heritage structures, underground systems, water retaining structures, and give expert advice on their repair and maintenance.
Accelerated Environmental Corrosion Tests
MERI has facilities available for humidity testing and neutral salt spray testing to ASTM Standard B117
Depth profiling using Raman microscopy - Confocal mode
The removal of light from outside the 'focal plane' coupled to an accurately controlled sample stage allows non-destructive depth profiling with a resolution of 2 µm using a x100 microscope objective
