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

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

We specialise in solving technical, environmental and economic issues associated with power generation from renewable and non-renewable energy sources

In this work, we are using molecular dynamics simulation to investigate the principles by which highly anisotropic nanostructures nucleate and grow

In collaboration with Prof Chris Breen and colleagues, we have been using molecular-resolution simulations of clay galleries to investigate detailed structural behaviours that underpin coating treatments used for food packaging applications.

A research opportunity for postgraduate students providing training and experience in a wide range of topics related to the development of solar cells. They will also carry out this research in their home universities and start to replicate 'solar villages' in their own countries after completion of their PhD programme

The project will determine the method by which coatings on contaminated surfaces fail through the development of protocols
