The ceramics theme, run by Drs Hywel Jones and Paul Bingham, aims to provide enhanced capability for the much needed delivery of ceramics and glass related consultancy, contract research and knowledge transfer projects (KTPs) by the University.

Our Senior Lecturer in Materials Engineering, Dr Paul Bingham, was recently made a Fellow of the Society of Glass Technology

Differential Scanning Calorimetry can be used to characterise and compare materials; identify and confirm purity, assess thermal stability and evaluate product-application conditions.

A spin-out business called XeraCarb created by Ï㽶ÊÓƵ to commercialise novel high performance and low cost ceramic materials is benefiting from significant new investment to take its technology into production

The Materials and Engineering Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Institute within Sheffield Hallam is offering thermal analysis (TGA, TG-MS, ATD-GCMS) services to internal and external businesses.

The interests of the Polymers, Composites and Spectroscopy Group (PCAS) encompass polymers, minerals and composites

Hydrogels are crosslinked polymers that contain large amounts of water. We have developed a novel hydrogel loaded with Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) which can be maintained as a liquid ex vivo and be injected into the affected tissue site where body temperature triggers in situ gelation.

We have extensive experience of incorporating clays into a range of petroleum derived polymers including polypropylene, polyamide, polyacrylates, polycaprolactone, polyvinylalcohol as well as biopolymers including starch, polylactic acid, chitosan and gelatin

A novel wound dressings which is active against MRSA for four days has been developed in collaboration with colleagues from the Biomolecular Sciences Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Centre at Sheffield Hallam.

The degradation of polymers by UV, heat, moisture or γ-irradiation is of significant importance in many different spheres of life
