Climate change, exacerbated by CO2 emissions from major industries and power generation facilities, threatens global sustainability. Current carbon capture and storage (CCS) solutions, like liquid amine scrubbers, are inefficient, expensive and spatially demanding, impeding their broad implementation. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), possessing exceptiona...

Awaiting Public Project Summary

This project will use existing technologies not previously combined to achieve components for public transport use that will: \*Incorporate proven anti-microbial materials that act as an effective barrier against bacteria and help reduce viral transmission (even eliminate them in some cases), helping both with public health and customer perception issues;...

The ongoing concerns and heightened regulation of perfluorocarbons and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFCs and PFASs), is driving the textile market to search for sustainable alternative chemistries. There is a clear demand for alternative, greener, durable water repellents (DWR) for textiles.The current state of the art that offers the highest level of repe...

Icing represents a complex and expensive problem in different industrial and energy applications -- aircraft, wind turbines, power lines -- causing incidents and severe accidents. The main mitigation methods rely on mechanical breaking of the ice, electrical heating, and de-icing chemicals. These are expensive, inefficient, unreliable, and environmentally...

With an ever ageing population, there are an increasing number of patients requiring medical devices, such as artificial joints and dental implants to enable everyday activity. An improvement of current implants will offer tremendous benefits. In particular, there is an urgent need for technologies to improve the fixation of implants/devices in bone witho...

Ice formation on aircraft, wind turbines and power lines is a major cost to industry and an ongoing cause of fatal air crashes and accidents from ice-shedding. Current ice-mitigation technologies rely on mechanical breaking of the ice, electrical heating or application of de-icing chemicals. These are expensive, inefficient, unreliable, and damaging to th...

The textile and clothing industry in Mexico has experienced a major productivity transformation thanks to the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between Mexico, USA and Canada. Introduced in 1994, NAFTA has had a positive effect on employment and also exports from Mexico. Currently the textile industry, which is over a centu...

Printing equipment and formulation expertise are not available resources at PP. Ink formulation can be a time-consuming iterative process without guaranteed success. A formulation expert will accelerate the process to develop a formulation which can be aimed at a particular printing technique (e.g. flexo). We also need to measure the electrical properties...
