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

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.

Links to automation and robotics projects.

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 REPLICATOR project started in March 2008 under the European Union's 7th framework programme, in the theme of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)

A new project which brings humans and robots together could help firefighters tackle low visibility and, eventually, provide a robotic alternative to guide dogs for visually-impaired people

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

Sheffield Children's Hospital identified a need to develop new equipment with Sheffield Hallam University to monitor the bone mineral density (BMD) in children less than four years old.

A successful completion of a ground-breaking project the GUARDIANS at the Mobile Machine and Vision Laboratory at Centre for Automation and Robotics Research at Sheffield Hallam University

The MINIMAN project concerns the development of a smart microrobot with five degrees of freedom and a size of few centimetres squared
