Research

GENERAL PROCESSING
 

Characterisation of polymers during processing - research in injection moulding and extrusion processing, involving, in-line rheometry, on-line rheometry and off-line rheometry, novel instrumentation or measurements and insert mould studies.
[EPSRC]

In-process measurements - wide ranging studies on in-process measurements and off line measurements of polymer rheology, processing, and product evaluation
[DTI, Industry consortium ~ 40 companies]
Combined at-process spectroscopy and in line rheometry of polymer melts – studies of additive and molecular feature effects in processing of polymer melts
[HEFCE/ Dynisco Kayeness, Raychem, UoB, ICI-DuPont]
Real time computing in polymer process engineering - development of the use of computers in monitoring and controlling polymer processing operations, including both software and interface developments; this work is associated with many projects below.
