To achieve the UK Government net-zero ambition requires an 80% reduction in carbon emissions by 2050\. Decarbonising domestic buildings is essential, as heating homes accounts for 7% of the UK's total energy demand. Heat-flux sensors measure heat transfer rate through surfaces, like walls and windows, to find the 'U-value' (i.e., thermal conductivity) of ...

**Safety** In-flight icing presents a significant challenge for safe flight and has contributed to several accidents. Topics of particular interest to the aerospace community are, Supercooled Large Droplets (SLD) that resulted in the loss of American Eagle Flight 4184, and Ice Crystal Icing (ICI) conditions that resulted in the loss of Air France Flight 4...

The 3DP-Harness project is industrial research to develop a demonstrator for an innovative technology for the robotic manufacture and installation of wiring harnesses through digital and additive manufacturing. This solution would revolutionise one of the last labour intensive elements of high value manufacturing. The SME partners, CEL and PEL, are UK SME...

"Manufacturing in space has the potential to positively affect human spaceflight operations by enabling the in-orbit manufacture of replacement parts and tools, which could reduce existing logistics requirements for the International Space Station (ISS) and future long-duration human space missions. In-space manufacturing could enable space-based construc...

Integrated Manufacture of Polymer and Conductive Tracks (IMPACT) is an exciting project focussed on creating an innovative 3D printer that combines deposition of polymer based materials and electrically conductive ink; as well as integrating a pick and place system capable of handling electronic modules within a particular dimensional envelope. This indus...

Photovolatic solar cells are renewable energy devices which convert light energy into electric energy. The cost of PV devices is still very high. We have deleloped silicon structures for application in PV with benefits of low temperature processes, thus less power consumption and a reduction in heat dissipation to the environment - reduces carbon footprin...

Awaiting Public Project Summary

Metals related manufacturing represents about 10% of all UK production activity and machining Metals related manufacturing represents about 10% of all UK production activity and machining remains the most important manufacturing process. According to the Manufacturing Technologies Association, in 2012 the UK machine tools, cutting tools and tool/work-hold...

The project consortium, which includes M-Solv (process developer and small-scale capacitive touch sensor (CTS) manufacturer), Thomas Swan (graphene manufacturer), Printed Electronics Ltd (inkjet ink formulator) and University of Surrey, aims to bring innvoations to CTS manufacture. CTS comprises of structured transparent conductors (TC), which sense the c...

The project partners will integrate printed electronics (PE) and conventional (CE) solid state electronics in order to improve functionality, reduce cost and increase scalability of a photonics based medical device. New methods will be employed in order to produce luminaires, printed sensors and PE/PE or PE/CE interconnects. These will be combined with co...

Printed electronics analogues for many of the familiar electronic building-blocks (memory, logic, power, displays, etc.) are now available as discrete components. Although printed electronics offers the future possibility to fabricate multiple components on a single substrate this is not yet technically feasible and, in many cases, will not be economicall...
