Dr Alex Scrimshire
Dr Alex Scrimshire is a Postdoctoral Research Associate with Polymers, Nanocomposites and Modelling Research Centre within Materials and Engineering Research Institute.
X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) services
A complete service is carried out for the glass industry from analysing the raw materials including sand, limestone, dolomite, soda ash, glass cullet, borax etc. to the finished product and also waste dusts.
Ceramics and Glass Research Group
Our research in this specialist area focuses on the improvement of materials properties through the development of novel ceramic composites. Using some of most advanced techniques and equipment, we have been improving wear resistance, strength, fracture toughness, corrosion resistance and reducing weight.
