Materials and recycling solutions
The Centre for Infrastructure Management provides an independent materials testing service to clients and provide consultancy/R&D to develop innovative solutions for new materials development and applications.
Case Studies
Case Studies
Polymer formulation
There are a large number of commercially available additives that enable polymers to perform important functions over a wide range of conditions
Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE)
Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) is a method which provides a view of the occupants鈥 appraisal of the building and assesses how well the building matches the users' requirements. POEs are normally conducted a year after the building has been in use.
Coating Testing
Evaluation of coating performance in standardised tests allows realistic comparisons to state of the art
Coating Characterisation
Coating microstructure characterisation is key in accelerating product development. It supports product development as a link between process and product performance.
Environmentally friendly Mo- and W- doped Carbon coatings utilising tribo- chemical reactions to achieve "in-situ" formation of lubricious phases in conditions of boundary lubrication.
The National HIPIMS Technology Centre developed a carbon-based coating, which is simultaneously doped with Mo and W.
