This project will provide a unique and valuable addition to the materials palette by combining the advantages of thermoset and thermoplastic composites, but with ultra-high temperature resistance. Our innovation arises by combining dry UD fibre with a new high temperature resin formulation, which is not currently on the market. This will create an interme...
1 Jul 2022 to 30 Jun 2024
Climate change is a topic that is high on the policy agenda and attracts substantial media and public interest. Renewable energies like wind are an important part of decarbonising our economy and slowing climate change. Wind turbine blades are made from a combination of reinforced fibres (usually glass or carbon fibres) and a polymer matrix. These composi...

Awaiting Public Project Summary
1 Jun 2020 to 28 Feb 2021
COVID-19 and other viruses and diseases are spread from person-to-person through small droplets from the nose or mouth which are spread when a person coughs or exhales and the droplets land on objects and surfaces. Others can catch the highly infectious virus by directly inhaling the droplets or touching these objects or surfaces, then touching their eyes...
