NU-VC seeks to develop a recent breakthrough technology within the composite industry. -New UV-curable thick-section GRP composite where 30mm sections can be cured in 2 minutes is a key enabling technology that has potential to penetrate diverse composite markets from hand-lay-up to Sheet moulding. Because moulding does not require pressure or vacuum set-up and manufacturing costs are significantly reduced and operations simplified where cheap Plastic tooling can be utilised. Further enhancements include:-High Speed Cure with low exotherms, hence no internal stress, & no residual styrene. Good retention over time of part rigidity and long term stability, no bowing, buckling, age hardening or enbrittlement. Proof of concept is already in place, but key improvements are needed before launch. The 3yr project lead by Menzolit UK involves 5 other industrial partners from the automotive and construction sectors with the University of Exeter providing research support.
This project is about the development of a new business model and capability to enable the utilisation of industrial waste gases from the foundation industries, to generate affordable feedstocks and chemicals for use in the production of consumer products in the UK. Such an industrial symbiosis model will displace the import of non-sustainable materials from outside of the UK currently used to supply the consumer goods industry thus building a new UK value chain whilst simultaneously helping to mitigate the waste emissions from the foundation industries (specifically paper, chemicals, and steel). Aside from the technical aspects of the project, additionally, the business model development will frame the economic incentives that will likely be required to make the model work (e.g., carbon taxes on imports of fossil-based materials). The project will uniquely bring together partners from across the whole supply/value chain to achieve this.
As with many developed countries the UK's agricultural land is under pressure to provide food to a growing population in the most efficient and sustainable manner. There is an added opportunity and responsibility for countries like the UK to take the lead in developing solutions for the UNSDG's in this case \#2 Zero Hunger.
Airborne pathogens infect cereal and horticultural crops reducing the yield per hectare. While their impact can be mitigated by the use of fungicides, these must be used responsibly and sustainably.
This project creates a solution comprising several, identical sensing devices located in the field of crops. The data from each sensor provides an early warning of the presence of the pathogen which is turned into a recommended management plan for the farmer/grower.
Each device comprises a biosensor that stimulates the targeted pathogen spore to germinate, a smart camera to detect that growth, a set of environmental sensors and a wireless communication module all housed in a weatherproof, robust housing.
By combining the data from the sensors over a wide area it is possible to create additional services on top of the service provided to individual farmers/growers, for example disease prediction forecasts, crop protection research and retail planning.
A consortium comprising electronics, agricultural chemicals, materials, industrial design and several leading academic institutions have come together with farmers and growers to develop the solution for deployment in the UK and globally.
Black-grass (_Alopecurus myosuroides_) is the UK's most pernicious weed, causing considerable yield losses each year and threatening the sustainability of UK cereal production. Herbicides remain a key component of tactics to control this species, yet evolution of resistance due to overuse threatens their efficacy. Environmental considerations also raise concerns about such widespread herbicide use, including the potential for damaging off-target effects on potentially beneficial species. Finally, the cost to growers of existing herbicidal strategies are becoming prohibitively expensive.
Precision spraying of herbicides specifically to weed patches, rather than the whole field, offers the potential to help mitigate these issues, considerably reducing herbicide use whilst maintaining effective control of the weed. To facilitate this, there is a need to develop systems for accurately and rapidly mapping the spatial distribution of the weed within the field, at time-points early enough to enable intervention. Spot application needs to be robust enough to avoid missing weeds and provide sufficient confidence for growers to support their uptake. And finally, software and machinery need to be in place for delivering the targeted, precision herbicide application.
This project will enable UK SME Chafer to use the Bosch/BASF 'smart sprayer' concept and technology to develop, build and evaluate a camera-equipped self-propelled sprayer for black-grass mapping and precision patch- or spot-spraying. The artificial intelligence to identify weeds and the ability to generate precise weed maps will allow Rothamsted and BASF to conduct further research. The outcome of the project will allow field data generation to be used for agronomic recommendations. The data will be analysed on the xarvio(tm) platform, and models developed by Rothamsted will be used to develop bespoke recommendations of herbicide choice and variable-rate application of pre- and post-emergence herbicides. These plans will be implemented using precise (individual nozzle) control of herbicide application by the sprayer system, with performance evaluated against conventional 'whole-field' management in herbicide usage, cost reductions, and control efficacy.
The HiBarFilm2 consortium will build on the success seen in our feasibility study project (HiBarFilm) and continue the development of high barrier monolayer films for food packaging applications. Multilayer flexible films, used commonly at high volumes in food and medical packaging, are one of the most challenging plastic products to recycle, these materials represent nearly a quarter of all consumer packaging, yet only 6% is currently recycled (WRAP). These thin films are typically between three and twelve layers of different plastics adhered together, often meaning they are not economical to recycle or if recycled can affect the quality of waste streams due to the mix of materials, consequently these materials are commonly incinerated or sent to landfill.
Multilayer flexible films are currently a necessity in the food industry. Food production is an energy and resource intensive industry, to which plastic packaging has the potential to achieve a net positive environmental impact by reducing food waste and increasing shelf-life. The combination of these multiple polymer layers is what provides the barrier performance -- increasing the shelf life of products by controlling the transmission rate of oxygen and water, it is also responsible for the packaging's physical and mechanical performance, such as puncture and tear resistance and heat sealability. There remains fine balance between the use of these often challenging to recycle, multi-layered single use plastics and an increase in food waste.
HiBarFilm2 has an ambitious objective to achieve the same barrier performance using a mono-material polyolefin film as the currently used multilayer barrier films. The consortium aims to accomplish this using plasma functionalised nanomaterials to increase barrier performance in two main areas of focus; firstly by mixing the nanomaterials directly into the polyolefin prior to filming, adding barrier properties to the film itself - both polyolefin films and compostable plastics will be used to also address the issue with contamination of the films with food waste such as fats and blood; and secondly by dispersing the nanomaterials into a barrier coating which can be applied to the polyolefin substrate. The advantage being the two solutions can be combined to increase the barrier performance further.
By manufacturing mono-material flexible films the recyclability of these materials will increase, and value will be added to this versatile material.
This project aims to design and produce a control system for beetle pests of peas and beans, which does not use blanket sprays of insecticides. Instead, the beetles will be lured to simple devices, baited with beetle specific attractive odours, where they will be coated with spores of an insect fungal disease. When they leave the device they will spread the disease to other beetles like them. This will reduce pest beetle numbers and damage to the crops, but, unlike insecticide sprays, will not affect the environment or other beneficial and non-target insects such as pollinating bees. The insect fungal disease occurs naturally in the soil in the UK and does not pose a risk to other animals. The attractants used are either insect produced (a specific pheromone) or are odours produced by flowering peas and beans. The spores and the attractants will be prepared in a novel formulation that is electrostatically charged and sticks to the beetles body and is passed on to other beetles when they meet.

The Agronomics Project, led by ADAS and involving the Courtyard Partnership, BASF, Trials Equipment Ltd., VSN International and the British Geological Survey, will develop statistical approaches to enable high precision spatial experimentation on-farm using precision farming technologies. Agronomics has the twin aims of improving precision and extending the scale of agronomic testing and experimentation, so that farmers, advisors, suppliers, researchers and regulators will all be able to detect and aggregate small, as well as large, effects of treaments on crop performance and their interactions with soil type. New statistical approaches will also enable close optimisation of input rates in support of genetic (or other) enhancement of nutrient and agrochemical efficiencies. Agronomics will apply to all field crops and all cropping practices, and so will underpin the urgent quest for ‘sustainable intensification’ by transforming agronomic intelligence and maximising returns from research investment, first in the UK and then worldwide.

Agronomics will apply to all field crops and all cropping practices, and so will underpin the urgent quest for ‘sustainable intensification’ by transforming agronomic intelligence and maximising returns from research investment, first in the UK and then worldwide.

The INTRESTS (INTerseasonal Renewable Energy STorage System) project will develop and upscale adsorption storage for thermal energy suitable for capture and storage of low temperature heat from cost effective solar collectors. The project seeks to develop nano-composite adsorbents in order to deliver compact, commercially viable thermal stores, suitable for application in new-build and retrofit markets. Development of INTRESTS will begin with nano-composite adsorbent synthesis, progress to thermal modelling of the INTRESTS design, and implement a scaled prototype connected to a active solar air heater on a demonstration building. Monitoring and cost/value analysis will also be conducted based on real world performance, in order to determine commercial viability.
