Foamed biopolymer formulation for replacing expanded polystyrene and PVC in pots tubs and tray applications

1 Jun 2020 to 30 Nov 2020

Awarded
£20,793
Total cost £34,655

Wells Plastics and Bangor University will work together to develop and exploit a foamed biobased polymer system with advanced properties that make it suitable for applications where high temperature and mechanical performance is needed with the potential to replace EPS/PVC in pots tubs and tray applications.

2019 Collaborative R&D Lead participant

Zero-Waste Agricultural Mulch Films for Crops in China (ZEWAMFI)

1 Feb 2019 to 31 Mar 2022

Awarded
£118,613
Total cost £197,688

The project will develop cost competitive agricultural mulch films for arable crops that will perform during use but degrade thereafter with no negative impact in terms of producing micro-plastics/ or leaving un-degraded plastics in soil. Agricultural mulch films have been introduced in semi-arid zones in China to make efficient use of limited water suppl...

The Modelling of an Impervious Nano-Composite Barrier System for Pipe Systems

1 Nov 2008 to 31 Jan 2012

Awarded
£17,523
Total cost £92,276

Development of a model to predict conditions for optimal orientation of nanoparticles in an extrusion process, together with methods of manufacturing non-leaching pipes based on nanoclay technology. The role of the nanoparticles is to form a barrier to render the pipe non-permeable to hydrocarbons and contaminants. The orientation of nanofillers determine...
