Three fields,
one lab
Polymer engineering, nanotechnology and advanced materials. Most problems worth taking on sit across at least two of them, which is the argument for keeping all three in one building.
The capability
compounds across
the three
A barrier problem is a polymer problem until it becomes a surface problem. A shelf-life problem is a coating problem until it becomes a feedstock problem. Splitting the disciplines across suppliers is what makes those hand-offs expensive.
Three disciplines, one lab discipline behind them
Polymer
engineering
Formulation, compounding and process transfer of engineered polymers, built for production-line reality.

Nano
technology
Thin functional layers and surface behaviour: adhesion, wetting, barrier and release, engineered in the first few microns.
Discover
Advanced
materials
Bio-based feedstocks held to the mechanical, thermal and regulatory demands of the sector they enter.
