This project seeks to develop innovative composite circumferential components to increase the competitiveness of UK aerospace manufacturing in the international market. It supports the green initiatives of the global aerospace sector of weight reduction and lowering carbon emissions. The project is split into 8 work packages to be completed over a 4 year ...

"The move to a circular economy is vital for the development of industry and the protection of the environment. One material constantly in the spotlight is plastics. Plastic is a highly engineered, indispensable material used over a wide range of applications. One of the strengths of thermoplastics is the potential ability to recycle the same material man...

The aim of this project is to design develop and manufacture thermoplastic composite vessels and pipes for hydrogen storage and transfer applications at pressures up to 700 bar. Such products will be fully recyclable, impact resistant and durable. A key objective is to produce such products at economically acceptable levels in order to drive forward the h...

The objective of this project is to develop a novel, low cost, high pressure (350-700bar) gaseous hydrogen storage vessel for the automotive and industrial markets. This tank aims to offer significantly improved fatigue performance than current solutions with the added benefit of being fully recyclable at the end of life. This step change in performance w...

This project aims to develop a new generation of sustainable, recyclable, lightweight materials which will offer significantly improved energy absorption and shock mitigation capabilities under dynamic impact and shock/blast loading at reduced economic cost. Methods of designing and manufacturing structural components incorporating the novel material will...
