Robot tool positioning and alignment
One of the main applications of machine vision in industry is in the alignment and positioning of tools that are used in a large variety of tasks
Polymers in life sciences
By applying our experience and expertise in polymer analysis, we are able to obtain useful insights into polymer behaviour and suggest solutions to material or processing challenges
Expertise in clay-based polymer nanocomposites
We have extensive experience of incorporating clays into a range of petroleum derived polymers including polypropylene, polyamide, polyacrylates, polycaprolactone, polyvinylalcohol as well as biopolymers including starch, polylactic acid, chitosan and gelatin
Understanding the failure mechanisms of coatings on contaminated steel substrates
The project will determine the method by which coatings on contaminated surfaces fail through the development of protocols
Construction Materials
A summary of our research regarding construction materials
Power generation
We specialise in solving technical, environmental and economic issues associated with power generation from renewable and non-renewable energy sources
Failure analysis
Our research in this area is focused on the analysis of corrosion-induced failures with the intent of identifying the causes in order to reduce the likelihood of future occurrences.
Evaluating and testing the comparative thermal performance of reflective and multifoil insulations
In the absence of a standard thermal conductivity test for thermo reflective insulants, we are able to evaluate and test the comparative thermal performance of reflective and multifoil insulations
Assessment of material suitability
If you need to understand the performance of different materials used within specific applications where corrosion is a potential, we can undertake analysis of your candidate materials
