Projects
SWIFT: Seaweed Innovation for Filter Technology
1 Oct 2024 to 31 Mar 2025
The SWIFT project aims to create eco-friendly air filters using seaweed-based materials. Traditional filter media, primarily synthetic polymers, fibreglass, and cotton for example, contribute significantly to landfill waste as filters are considered unsafe for recycling. As global temperatures rise and air pollution becomes a growing concern, the demand f...
NanoTherm: Sustainable Heat Insulation Enhancement with Advanced Biowool Nanofibres
1 Aug 2024 to 31 Jul 2025
Heat shielding in applications where space and weight is critical, has always been a tough engineering challenge. It is one of the few design commonalities between rocket engines, combustion engines and electric vehicles. Today, this need is a crucial as ever with delicate electronics often located near high temperature components. Our project, "NanoTherm...
AMAZE : Advanced MOF-loaded Air-pollution control and Zero-emission Electrospun filters
1 Dec 2023 to 31 May 2025
Over 34 billion tonnes of CO2 are emitted into the atmosphere annually worldwide, 73.2 % from the energy sector by burning fossil fuels. CO2 is a greenhouse gas and contributes to global warming, which is why the UK government as part of the Net Zero UN Coalition have set a target for all sectors to decarbonise to reach net zero targets by 2050\. The AMAZ...
Bumpe ECO: A bio-derived wearable smart garment to prevent stillbirth
1 Jul 2023 to 31 Dec 2023
Stillbirth affects approximately 1 in 244 births in the United Kingdom. Foetuses may exhibit signs of compromise as part of a stress response before stillbirth and a key indicator is a reduction in foetal movements. Signs of compromise often occur only hours or at best days before foetal death, so it is highly likely to be missed by current monitoring pra...
ICURe Follow on Grant Support
1 Dec 2021 to 31 Jan 2022
Electrospinning turns plastic materials into nanofibers that have a huge range of uses, including flexible sensors, filters of nano-sized pollutant particles, and next-generation composites, all used in a wide variety of markets, including aerospace, architecture, automotive, energy, infrastructure, marine, military, and sports/recreation. Our nanotechnol...
Reusable Nanofibre Facemask - Designed to Protect
1 Jan 2021 to 30 Jun 2021
Plastic pollution was already one of the greatest threats to our planet before the coronavirus outbreak. The huge increase in the daily use of plastic disposable facemasks, along with other forms of PPE to keep people safe and stop the spread of disease, is not sustainable. Numerous reports are emerging everyday imaging and documenting the huge increase i...

Viral-filtering nanofibre face protection
1 Jun 2020 to 31 Jan 2021
We aim to develop a filter material that is effective at stopping very small particles, smaller than the COV19 virus (60nm) and thus effectively stop virus transmission. This filter material will be integrated in masks for the general public, to help with a safe return to work and will be certified for viral filtration efficiency independently. The UK eco...

Bumpe: A wearable smart garment to prevent stillbirth
1 Apr 2020 to 31 Dec 2021
In the UK, 1 in every 225 births is a stillbirth (baby born dead after 24 completed weeks of pregnancy); equivalent to 3,400 babies dying each year. Around nine in ten stillbirths occur before the onset of labour. One in three stillbirths occur in babies who have reached term and seem to be completely healthy. Women who have suffered stillbirth can develo...
