The primary objective of this collaborative research project is to develop a smart antimicrobial orthopaedic implant suitable for mass production in the established and emerging markets. The 3yr project is industry led by a global medical device company (Smith and Nephew) collaborating with a charitable NHS hospital trust and academia. The antimicrobial t...

Civil aircraft wing design faces a growing challenge to improve the fidelity of performance predictions. The drive towards high performance relies on a combination of small refinements. Even where step changes are sought the success of a design can depend on the mitigation of complex aerodynamic risks. 1) Wing maximum lift (CLmax) is fundamental in determ...

The Practical Lithium Air Batteries project brings together a range of academic and industrial partners with complimentary skills to work on improved lithium air battery single cells and assess their feasibility in the wider context of future battery pack and system design, compact air purification approaches and general viability for use in automotive ap...

To develop,introduce and embed a data miming system capable of searching selected www.channels and mapping the best fit returns against desired client persona.

Chiral amines are important building blocks used in 40% pharmaceutical products, 20% of crop protection compounds and are high value chemical intermediates. Current synthetic methods use wasteful resolution processes. This project will improve manufacturing efficiency by developing catalytic (transfer) hydrogenation methods to make specific types of chira...

Gallium Nitride (GaN) is being grown on Silicon substrates by the semiconductor manufactures to create discrete devices for high-voltage power electronics applications, with the potential to deliver superior performance in breakdown voltage, on-state resistance and higher switching speeds, reducing system losses and enabling greater levels of efficiency a...

The consortium will develop a rapid, affordable, sensitive platform for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae from urine samples. The platform will be fully integrable with LIMS (laboratory information management system). This will enable rapid point of care (POC) testing within the hospital and genitourinary medicine (GUM) clin...
