COMPOSITES & REACTIVE PROCESSING
 

Polymer-polymer composites - research into lightweight, high energy absorbing composites employing reactive processing and organic reinforcements such as high modulus polyolefins.
[EPSRC]

Reactive extrusion for modification of polypropylenes- reactive grafting onto PPs for surface modification
[ex EPSRC]
Two component dispensing control - computer control studies for a small scale two component reactive processing machine (originally designed for robotic dispensing of two component adhesives)
Reactive injection of polymers and polymer composites- research based upon our reaction injection moulding facility now based at Leeds IRC site.
[Industry, previous EPSRC grants]
Extrusion of glass-filled polymers for property development
[ESPRC]
Injection moulding of short glass fibre filled polymers for automotive products
[Birkbys, Moldflow]
