Composites Research Group

Research

The Composites Group focuses on the processing and performance of polymer matrix composites. We have established interests in both thermoset and thermoplastic matrices and emerging interests in novel metal materials.

Experimental programmes include development of novel manufacturing processes, materials characterisation, end-of-life and recycling. Modelling studies relate to mechanical performance and process simulation, including numerical analyses using FEA and CFD.
