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

There are a large number of commercially available additives that enable polymers to perform important functions over a wide range of conditions

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

The competitive movement of small molecules through polymers, membranes and constitutes an important phenomenon in many applications

We have developed a novel pNIPAM-DMAc-Laponite® hydrogel loaded with hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAPna), which can be maintained as a liquid ex vivo and be injected into the affected bone tissue site where body temperature triggers in situ gelation

A novel wound dressings which is active against MRSA for four days has been developed in collaboration with colleagues from the Biomolecular Sciences Research Centre at Sheffield Hallam

The degradation of polymers by UV, heat, moisture or γ-irradiation is of significant importance in many different spheres of life

We have a strong track record and reputation in the field of infrastructure management and development. Our aim is to apply that range of knowledge to deliver client focused and practical everyday solutions

We have extensive experience of simulating liquid crystalline behaviour at a range of length-scales. At a molecular scale, we have developed a particular expertise in mixture systems and in anchoring at patterned substrates

Using the same types of simulation on other choices of simple particle systems, we have developed a specific expertise in observing the development of soft triply-periodic structures such as the Gyroid
