The growing demand for composite materials in aerospace due to lightweight advantages over their metallic counterparts has given a new impetus to the development of eco-friendly, cost-effective composite manufacturing processes. A350 XWB and Boeing 777X use more than 50% composites by weight, with the latter having the world's largest aircraft wings forme...

The aim of F4 PAEK is to produce novel nano-composite materials for additive manufacturing. These new materials will offer multifunctional capabilities including lightweighting, thermal and electro-magnetic properties. The initial target applications are focussed on the defence and aerospace industry but the developments have potential implications and be...

This project uses graphene to produce composites with polyolefins to give a step change in performance for lightweight extruded oriented products used in specialist applications. The project team will; • gain an understanding of how graphene can enhance the performance of polymer composites, especially in relation to physical strength and operating temper...

Membrane filters can be applied for a variety of industrial liquid and gas separations applications such as water desalination, water/oil separation during oil drilling and industrial waste water treatment. A major operational issue with filter membranes is their tendency to foul with use over time, which results in lowering throughput, increasing energy ...

State-of-the-art PEM fuel cells utilise metallic separator plates which require a coating to reduce their contact resistance to acceptable levels. Such coatings are usually applied by PVD which has high capital costs in order to achieve high volume. This feasibility project aims to reduce PEM bipolar plate coating costs by developing high conductivity car...

This project is a collaboration between Haydale Ltd, Thales and University of Bath. The aim of the project is to assess the feasibility of employing graphene based polymer skins for sensing and deicing applications. The are major issues associated with deicing are in aircarft, at airports, transmission power lines, instrumentation, antenna masks, wind tur...

This project aims to develop materials that when incorporated into composite structures, provides those composite materials with the ability to “bruise” or show a visible indication that the material has suffered damage.

Awaiting Public Project Summary

The FUNGI (FUNnctionalised Graphene Inks for Electrochemical Diagnostic Biosensors) project will develop a range of innovative functionalised graphene nano-platelet (GNP) based inks with significantly improved performance to that of conventional carbon inks for biosensor applications. Improved ink conductivity and surface topography will lead to improved ...

The inclusion into thermoset resins of nano particles functionalised by the innovative patented Haydale manufacturing route will enhance the properties of composites and reduce the risk of delamination. This enables lower volume, reduced mass composite structures to be manufactured and will reduce the volume of fibre required for equivalent performance.

Using an innovative process technology, Haydale Ltd. have developed a cost effective route to both manufacture and disperse nanoparticles such as graphene and carbon nanotubes. With funding from the TSB a feasibility study will be undertaken to establish how modification to the performance of polymers can be used to enhance the properties and performance ...
