This 'Innovatial' project focuses on the development of protective coatings for a new generation of lightweight titanium gamma aluminide materials that are in high demand in modern aircraft and cars

Understanding the fundamentals of HIPIMS plasma

Ti-Al-Si-N and Cr-Al-Si-N are high-temperature resistant coatings for cutting tool applications, created in collaboration with University of Freiberg, Germany

From 1999-2002, the Raman Spectroscopy of PVD Coatings project aimed to develop a Raman based method of monitoring the quality of coatings produced by the Surface Engineering Group and monitor stress and wear induced changes in hard coatings

To meet continuous demands for improved performance of the state of art hard coatings for tribological applications it is necessary to incorporate novel plasma assisted deposition technology into the present coating equipment providing better control over the energy of film forming species

Licensed process for the upscaling and implementation of High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering technology for the deposition of hard coatings

We can perform elemental analysis on a wide range of materials by using X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF). We have a state-of-the-art X-ray Fluorescence spectrometer that can provide manufacturers with detailed information on the composition of solids, powders and liquids.

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

The objective of this project is to bind sand grains together whilst maintaining formation porosity and fluid flow

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
